What Are Lab Services?

Lab services are tests that your veterinarian uses to diagnose medical problems in pets. These tests can provide us with information on your pet's health and help us develop a treatment plan tailored specifically to their needs and conditions. Common lab tests include:

  • Blood work: Blood work is a type of test ordered during a pet's wellness exam. It can provide information about the overall health of your pet, including organ function, electrolyte levels, and much more!
  • Diagnostics: Diagnostics are tests that help us identify specific medical issues in pets. These may include imaging tests such as X-rays or ultrasounds to investigate conditions such as cancer or heart disease.
  • Stool Testing: Stool testing helps diagnose digestive issues in pets and can even detect parasites or other infections.

At South Side Animal Clinic, we understand how important lab services are for diagnosing and treating your pet’s medical needs. We use these tests to develop a personalized treatment plan for your pets so they get the best outcome possible.

Why Are They Necessary?

Lab services provide an invaluable tool in diagnosing illnesses and diseases in pets. Without these tests, it would be much more difficult for the veterinarian to accurately diagnose and treat illnesses quickly. Many times lab results will reveal underlying issues or show changes in organ functioning that can only be determined through laboratory testing. Lab tests also play an important role when monitoring chronic illnesses such as diabetes or kidney disease. They provide us with a baseline of your pet’s health and help us assess how their treatment is progressing.
