In-House Laboratory Diagnostics

Fast Results When Your Pet Needs Answers

When your pet isn't feeling well, waiting days for test results only adds to the stress. At Warsaw Animal Hospital, our fully equipped in-house laboratory allows us to run a wide range of diagnostic tests right here at our clinic, so we have the answers we need to help your pet quickly, accurately, and without unnecessary delays.

For pet owners in Warsaw, NC, and the surrounding area, that means same-visit results in many cases and a care team that can act with confidence from the moment we know what we're dealing with.

Why In-House Diagnostics Make a Difference

Sending samples to an outside laboratory means waiting, sometimes for days. Our in-house diagnostic capability eliminates that wait. In most cases, we can review results before your appointment is even over, allowing us to make faster, better-informed decisions about your pet's care.

For pets that are acutely ill or in an emergency situation, that speed isn't just convenient, it can meaningfully change outcomes.

What Our In-House Lab Can Test

Our in-house laboratory is equipped to perform a broad range of diagnostic testing, including:
01. Blood Work
02. Urinalysis
03. Fecal Testing
04. Heartworm and Tick-Borne Disease Testing
05. Cytology

Blood Work

Complete blood counts (CBC) and blood chemistry panels give us important information about your pet's organ function, red and white blood cell levels, hydration status, and more. Blood work is a key part of wellness screenings, pre-surgical evaluations, and diagnosing illness.

Urinalysis

Urine testing helps us evaluate kidney function, detect urinary tract infections, identify diabetes, and screen for other conditions affecting the urinary system. It is a simple test that can reveal a great deal about your pet's health.

Fecal Testing

Fecal exams allow us to check for intestinal parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, giardia, and coccidia. We recommend routine fecal testing as part of your pet's annual preventive care.

Heartworm and Tick-Borne Disease Testing

We can test for heartworm disease as well as common tick-borne illnesses such as Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and anaplasmosis. These tests are quick and important, especially given the outdoor lifestyle many pets enjoy in North Carolina.

Cytology

We can collect and examine cell samples from skin masses, ear discharge, and other areas of concern to help identify infections, inflammation, or abnormal cell types.

Diagnostics at Every Stage of Your Pet's Care

Laboratory diagnostics are not just for sick pets. Routine blood work and urinalysis are valuable tools during annual wellness exams, especially as pets enter their senior years. Pre-surgical bloodwork helps us confirm your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia. And for pets managing chronic conditions, regular monitoring helps us track how well their treatment plan is working.

Getting the right answers quickly means we can get your pet feeling better, faster. Whether your pet is due for a routine wellness exam or you have noticed something that doesn't seem right, our team is here to help.
