At San Diego Bay Animal Hospital we maintain a full in-hospital laboratory.
Laboratory testing gives us an opportunity to gain a view inside your pet’s body in order to assess overall systemic health without the need for invasive and expensive procedures. This allows us to get information on your pet’s organ function, skin infections, masses, and screen for intestinal parasites with fast results.
At San Diego Bay we can regularly test your pet during wellness exams or during an emergency when your pet is sick.
For example:
Are the kidneys and liver removing waste from the blood stream?
Is your pet anemic?
Does your pet have internal parasites?
What type of skin infection does your pet have?
Does your pet have a urinary tract infection?
What type of mass is on your pet’s skin?
Generally, we can have results within 15-20 minutes for the following tests:
