Performing preventive medicine and diagnosing emergent internal health issues requires the ability to perform a wide range of laboratory tests on blood, urine, feces, and biopsied tissue. Without timely access to precise laboratory test results, it is often difficult to make an accurate diagnosis or assessment of your pet’s health.

Vine Animal Hospital has one of the best in-house diagnostic laboratories in the Fulton County area. In many cases, our sophisticated instruments and diagnostic capabilities allow us to receive results within minutes.

Laboratory testing allows our veterinarians to obtain important information for assessing your pet’s overall systemic health without the need for invasive, expensive procedures. At Vine Animal Hospital, we maintain an advanced in-house laboratory and regularly perform tests during your pet’s wellness exam or when we suspect your pet may have a health issue.

For example, diagnostic testing can detect Heartworm disease, Lyme disease, infections, feline leukemia, intestinal parasites, urinary tract infections, and many additional conditions that can go unnoticed in their early stages. Early blood testing can show evidence of disease such as diabetes, changes in liver or kidney function, or simply provide a baseline for future reference.
