Laboratory Testing with SuperVet
That’s where Pets’ Laboratory testing jumped in. It aids veterinarians to gain crucial insights into your pet’s well-being, helping to detect diseases at an early stage and providing valuable information for overall health management.
At SuperVet, we offer different veterinary diagnostic tests, like complete blood cell counts, blood chemistry profiles, urine analysis, stool sample screens, and heartworm testing. These tests are incredibly useful for assessing your pet’s overall health and identifying specific markers that indicate disease.
At SuperVet we use laboratory tests to establish a baseline of your pet’s health during wellness exams, to diagnose illness, and to safely prescribe medications.
Comprehensive Veterinary Diagnostic Tests
At SuperVet, we provide a wide range of laboratory veterinary blood tests, including CBC Blood Tests, Thyroid Tests, and PCR Tests for Dogs, to examine the overall well-being of your pet.
Lab tests are instrumental in detecting the earliest signs of disease, often allowing diagnosis and treatment before symptoms or pain appear. The sooner both chronic and acute illnesses are diagnosed and addressed, the more successful the treatment.
Here are some of the most common diagnostic tests conducted at Supervet’s Mobile Animal Clinic.
Whether you are a cat owner or a dog’s caregiver, veterinary blood tests can offer insight into your pet’s health.
Urinalysis is a diagnostic lab test, often recommended for pets aged eight years and older. It evaluates the physical and chemical properties of your pet’s urine. Its primary purpose is to assess the health of your pet’s kidneys and urinary system.
Urine analysis is a fundamental tool that allows us to assess your pets’ kidney function, urinary tract health, and hydration status, and offers insight into many other health issues, so we can catch their hidden health concerns.
Our SuperVet team evaluates each case individually, taking into account the unique condition and temperament of your pet. This may involve a free-catch sample, cystocentesis (directly drawing urine from the bladder), or using a specialized sterile urinary catheter.
Ongoing Support: The care we provide doesn’t end with the initial diagnosis and treatment. We offer ongoing support, monitoring, and follow-up appointments to ensure that your pet is on the path to recovery
Heartworm disease is a potentially life-threatening condition that affects dogs and, in rare cases, cats. Heartworms are long, pesky worms that can grow up to a foot in length and reside in the heart, lungs, and blood vessels of infected animals. These parasites are transmitted through mosquito bites.
If left untreated, the heartworm disease can cause serious health issues in your beloved pets, including:
- Respiratory Problems: Heartworms can obstruct blood flow, leading to coughing, difficulty in breathing, and exercise intolerance.
- Organ Damage: Severe infestations can cause damage to the heart, lungs, and blood vessels of your furry friend.
- Heart Failure: Heartworm diagnosis in dogs decreases the quality of your pet’s life and ultimately leads to heart failure.
At SuperVet, we are committed to helping you protect your beloved companion and providing them with a happy and healthy life. Don’t let your Pet suffer.
At SuperVet, we prioritize your pet’s well-being. We recommend annual Heartworm testing for the health of your pets.
Our experts consider your pet’s age, history, lifestyle, and potential risk factors when recommending the best heartworm prevention option for your pet.
A heartworm test is a simple blood test that detects the presence of heartworm proteins (antigens) in your pet’s bloodstream. It’s a quick and non-invasive procedure.
Veterinary cancer screening is a systematic process to identify the disease at an early and potentially treatable stage, allowing for timely intervention, diagnosis, and appropriate treatment to improve the animal’s prognosis and quality of life. Screening methods may include physical examinations, blood tests, imaging, biopsies, cytology, and endoscopy.
Endocrine lab testing refers to the process of measuring hormone levels in pets, using blood samples. It helps to diagnose and treat problems related to:
- Diabetes
- Hyperthyroidism
- Hypothyroidism
- Cushing’s Disease
- Addison’s Disease
With Endocrine imbalance, either too many or too little hormones, your pet will suffer a range of serious symptoms and in some cases life-threatening health issues.
Watch for signs that your pet may have an endocrine disorder, such as:
- Sudden weight fluctuations
- Changes in their coat’s appearance
- Altered energy levels and behavior
Other laboratory tests are available.
