At Blue Oasis, every consultation will start with a thorough clinical examination of the patient. However, some cases require further diagnostic testing to gain more information regarding your pets condition. Blue Oasis has state-of-the-art laboratory equipment. We can run a large number of different blood tests in house, giving us the required information in a matter of minutes. Thus, we can always ensure the best treatment approach for your pets condition, because we care more.
As a starting point, it is always a good idea to pay attention to your pet and look for signs and symptoms that might be an indication of illness or disease in your pets. But, there is only so much you can spot on your own, and lab work enables your vet to see the entire picture.
A majority of illnesses can be treated and cured in pets for as long as there is early detection. With laboratory work such as complete blood count (CBC), urinalysis, and/or fecal testing among others, your vet will be able to check for any specific abnormalities that might need further examination.
Pet laboratory work does wonders for understanding your pet’s overall health. For pet owners, lab work ensures that your pet is given the proper treatment to detect and treat illness, while also minimizing long term impact. It also helps provide adequate information on the status of your pet’s vitals that will aid in prevention in the long run.
Below are the different types of laboratory testing we conduct here at Blue Oasis Veterinary Clinic.
Your pet may need a lab test when he/she displays signs of lethargy, diarrhea, vomiting, increased or decreased urination and elimination, loss of appetite as well as sudden weight loss.
These factors may be indications of a larger, underlying issue within your pet’s system that may need further assessment.
It’s also essential that you bring your pet in as soon as you see abnormalities develop. Both you and your vet would like to prevent damage from happening, and early lab tests can help in early detection and cure.
Generally speaking, your pet should undergo laboratory tests every 1-2 years for maintenance checks and observation.
For newborn and young pets under 6 months old, it is recommended to go through a standard CBC procedure to examine the pet’s development and growth. This enables a Care Animal Hospital vet to set a comparison point for the next time you bring them in for testing.
Since senior dogs and cats are more likely to develop complications due to their older age, it is recommended you bring them in for lab work once a year.
