A PET OWNER’S GUIDE TO LABORATORY TESTING - Complete Blood Count (CBC) This tests for anemia, infection, inflammation and the healthiness of blood cells. - Chemistry Tests These panels survey many of the organ systems of the body to make sure they are working properly. - Thyroid Function Tests These tests are useful in diagnosing increased (hyper) or decreased (hypo) functions of the thyroid gland. - Urinalysis This test assesses the health and function of the urinary system. This is especially important in older animals to help with the early detection of kidney disease.
