WELLNESS
TESTING FOR THE LIFE OF YOUR PET
Many
of the medical technologies that help humans live longer, healthier
lives are now available to your pet. In just a few minutes,
with a few simple tests - your veterinarian can get a wealth
of information about your pet's health - thanks to wellness
testing.
PET
EXAM
- For
young and adult pets to give baseline results that your
veterinarian can use later for faster, more accurate diagnosis
and treatments.
- For
geriatric animals to monitor organ degeneration, check
response to medication and detect diseases before symptoms
appear.
- Test
results before surgery or dental procedures provide
important information that makes anesthesia safer.
There
are three basic tests your veterinarian will typically use
for your pet's wellness screen:
-
The
red blood cell analysis monitors the cells responsible
for carrying oxygen throughout the body
-
The
white blood cell analysis checks on the body's primary
means of fighting infection
-
The
platelet analysis determines whether blood can clot
sufficiently to stop bleeding.
The
Electrocardiogram is a simple test that records electrical
activity in the heart, so the heart's rhythm can be studied.
It helps detect heart disease in its early stages.
These
tests help your veterinarian chart your pet's long-term health
and wellness.
