In-House Lab Testing in San Jose, CA
When your pet is sick, you want answers fast. At Acacia Pet Clinic, our In-House Laboratory in San Jose allows us to perform a wide variety of diagnostic tests on-site, providing immediate results for critical cases. Diagnostic testing is a crucial part of veterinary medicine, helping us uncover underlying issues that a physical exam alone cannot reveal.
Why Diagnostic Testing Matters
Pets can't tell us where it hurts. Laboratory testing gives a voice to your pet's health needs, allowing us to detect conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, liver infection, and more. Early detection often leads to more effective treatment and better outcomes.
Our In-House Diagnostic Capabilities
Blood Chemistry & Panels
Evaluates organ function (kinneys, liver, pancreas), electrolyte levels, and blood sugar. Essential for screening before anesthesia and diagnosing systemic illness.
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
Analyzes red and white blood cells and platelets. Helps diagnose infections, anemia, inflammation, and clotting disorders.
Urinalysis
Examines urine for signs of infection, crystals, sugar (diabetes), and kidney function. A critical test for urinary tract health especially in senior pets.
Parasite Screening
Checks for intestinal parasites (worms, giardia), heartworm disease, and tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease.
Safety First: Pre-Anesthetic Testing
Before any surgical procedure involving anesthesia, we highly recommend (and often require) pre-operative blood work. This ensures your pet's organs can safely process the anesthesia and allows us to tailor the anesthetic protocol to their specific health status, minimizing risk.
Did You Know?
Routine wellness blood work creates a baseline for your pet's health. This allows us to spot subtle changes over time that might indicate developing problems long before your pet shows symptoms.
