Routine Bloodwork

Saturday, September 01, 2012

It is important to have routine blood-work tested on your pet as part of their wellness plan. The blood-work results act as a window into the body. A complete blood count (CBC) and a chemistry profile will show us signs of anemia or infection as well as look at enzymes and electrolytes that reveal how the organs are functioning. When these tests are performed routinely as part of a wellness program, mild elevations or abnormalities can be addressed before any clinical signs of disease are seen. Early detection is the key to quick and effective treatment that may prolong your pet’s life.
