Testing For Illness
Sometimes, there’s cause for concern that your pet may be suffering from a condition that’s not outright discernable in a routine examination. In many cases, we’ll be able to pick up on symptoms and recommend additional testing to get to the root of a problem. Some common tests include:
Heartworm Testing
(Otherwise known as blood parasite screening)
Fecal Testing
This allows the veterinarian to check for the presence of internal parasites such as hookworms, roundworms and whipworms.
Blood Work
Blood tests screen for infection or disease that may not otherwise be detected through a physical examination. Blood work also allows a veterinarian a comprehensive assessment of your pets’ health.
