The Lab: Where Science Meets Animal Care

Veterinary labs are vital for diagnosing illnesses. Technicians perform blood tests, urinalysis, and microbiological cultures to help guide treatment.

Common Lab Tests

  • Complete Blood Count (CBC): Measures red and white blood cells.
  • Blood Chemistry Panel: Assesses organ function.
  • Urinalysis: Checks kidney health and hydration.

Sample Handling

Proper labeling, storage, and handling prevent contamination and ensure accurate results.

Clinical Application

Lab results help veterinarians diagnose diseases early and monitor treatment progress.

Examples

  • Preparing a blood smear to identify parasites.

  • Running a urinalysis to detect diabetes in a cat.
