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. |
