Why Veterinary Diagnostics Are Important

A physical exam provides valuable information, but some health issues can only be detected through diagnostic testing.

Blood work and other lab tests help veterinarians evaluate the health of major organs and identify disease early. Early detection often leads to faster treatment and better outcomes. Routine pet blood testing in Erie can also help monitor ongoing conditions and support preventive care.

In-House Blood Testing for Pets

Our hospital performs several common diagnostic tests on-site, allowing us to evaluate your pet’s health quickly.

Complete Blood Count (CBC)

Measures red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets to detect infection, inflammation, and anemia.

Chemistry Panel

Evaluates organ function including the liver, kidneys, blood glucose levels, proteins, and electrolytes.

Heartworm and Tick Disease Testing

For dogs, this test checks for heartworm disease and tick-borne illnesses such as Lyme disease, Ehrlichia, and Anaplasmosis.

Feline Combo Test

For cats, this screening identifies viral diseases including feline leukemia (FeLV), feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), and heartworm.

Urinalysis and Additional Testing

Urinalysis is another important diagnostic tool. This test evaluates your pet’s urine to help detect infections, diabetes, kidney issues, and other concerns.

If additional testing is required, Erie Animal Hospital works with trusted veterinary laboratories to perform more advanced diagnostic evaluations.
