Veterinary Labwork

Lab testing is one of the most effective ways to evaluate your pet’s internal health. Our in-house and send-out lab allows us to run a wide range of tests, including:

  • CBC (Complete Blood Count) – Evaluates red and white blood cells, helping identify infections, anemia, or immune issues.
  • Chemistry Panel – Checks organ function, including liver and kidneys.
  • Thyroid Testing – Screens for overactive or underactive thyroid, which is common in older cats and dogs.
  • Blood Glucose – Helps diagnose and monitor diabetes.
  • Urinalysis – Evaluates urinary tract health and kidney function.
  • Fecal Exam & Parasite Testing – Screens for intestinal parasites.
  • Heartworm Testing – Essential for prevention and early detection.

These tests are often recommended during Wellness Exams and when pets are sick or showing unusual symptoms.

Veterinary Imaging

Some conditions require a closer look beyond labwork. Guardian Paws is equipped with advanced imaging to visualize internal structures:

  • Pet X-Rays – Useful for detecting broken bones, masses, bladder stones, or swallowed foreign objects.
  • Pet Ultrasound – Provides a detailed look at internal organs, such as the heart, liver, kidneys, spleen, bladder, etc.

Diagnostic imaging is often combined with labwork to give us a complete picture of your pet’s health, especially in cases involving Surgery, Hospitalization, or Sick Pet Care.
