COMMONLY USED DIAGNOSTICS THAT YOUR PET MAY NEED AND WHAT INFORMATION IT WILL TELL US:
-CBC or Complete Blood Count provides us with the numbers of WBC’s (white blood cells), RBC’s (red blood cells) and platelets in the body. Changes found with these counts can indicate the presence of infections, inflammatory processes, dehydration, clotting problems, and anemia.
-A Chemistry panel provides us with enzymes that test for liver function and kidney function as well as electrolytes. These parameters will also help to guide our diagnostic and treatment approach to numerous diseases and conditions.
-When there are symptoms relating to urinary tract, such as an increase in frequency of urination, a Urinalysis provides us with information for numerous medical conditions. For instance, the presence of blood, white blood cells and/or bacteria indicate the presence of a urinary tract infection, whereas the presence of glucose in the urine can indicate the presence of diabetes.
-An Ultrasound help us to look inside the bladder, the kidneys, the prostate or uterus. If your pet is having problems urinating, recurrent infections or bloodwork shows kidney problems or infection, an ultrasound can be invaluable.
