Pet blood work is when we take a small blood sample from your pet and test it for things like infections, diseases, organ function, metabolic issues, and normal values for comparison. Blood tests give us important information about your pet's health and help us find problems early.
A quick, easy blood draw will be done by a skilled vet tech or nurse. Small amounts are taken from a vein, usually the arm for dogs/cats or the leg for birds/reptiles. The samples are labeled and sent to our on-site lab for analysis. We usually get the results within 24 hours. The vet will go over the results with you during a follow-up chat to talk about any issues found and suggested treatments or next steps.
Complete blood testing helps us find medical conditions before your pet shows any signs. Treating issues early leads to better results. Common things we find include anemia, diabetes, liver or kidney disease, cancers, thyroid problems, blood clotting problems, infections, and more based on the tests we run.
Having normal values helps us compare with future health changes. Blood work helps diagnose, treat, and monitor with the best care for your pet. Find out what's going on inside your pet with the power of vet lab medicine. Contact us at Vets ASAP to learn more about pet blood testing services.
