Pet Diagnostics and Blood Work

.

When you bring your pet to Oak Grove Veterinary Hospital in San Jose, CA, our vet may require diagnostic tests to determine the state of your animal’s health. These tests provide a wealth of detailed information that helps our veterinarian diagnose current problems and anticipate future health issues. We use state-of-the-art diagnostic tests and comprehensive bloodwork to identify and address any health issues your pet is experiencing.

Diagnostic Technologies

X-rays have long been used in veterinary medicine to find injuries and disorders of the hard structures in the body, such as the bones, joints, and spine. Ultrasound technology, which uses sound waves that create an image on a computer screen, provides detailed information about the size and shape of soft tissues in the body. CT scans and MRIs are also used to diagnose some types of veterinary conditions. These technologies make it possible to see what is going on inside the body without resorting to invasive surgery.

Pet Bloodwork 

CBC, or a complete blood count, is a type of blood test that provides values for several chemical processes that are occurring inside an animal’s body. These tests provide information about red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, which are associated with different types of disorders, deficiencies, and infections. Other tests give indications about how internal organs are functioning. These numbers help our veterinarian to find and treat specific pet health problems.

Conditions Pet Diagnostics and Bloodwork Can Detect

Blood tests provide our veterinary professionals with a wealth of information. The values may indicate conditions such as:

  • Anemia
  • Bacterial infection
  • Chronic dehydration
  • Problems with kidney and liver function
  • Diabetes
  • Blood cancer or poisoning.
  • Parasites in the bloodstream

Blood tests allow our veterinarian to quickly produce an accurate diagnosis and begin offering prompt treatment.
