Laboratory Testing & Diagnostics

Laboratory testing plays an important role in understanding your pet’s overall health. At Lindner Animal Hospital, we offer a wide range of in-house and reference laboratory testing to help detect illness early, monitor ongoing conditions, and guide treatment decisions.

Our diagnostic services include complete blood counts, comprehensive chemistry panels to evaluate organ function, thyroid screening, kidney and liver testing, blood sugar monitoring, electrolyte testing, and specialized panels for senior pets. We also provide heartworm and tick-borne disease screening, FeLV/FIV testing for cats, fecal testing for intestinal parasites, urinalysis, allergy testing, and advanced endocrine testing for conditions such as Cushing’s disease and adrenal disorders.

For pets requiring additional evaluation, we offer specialized testing to monitor long-term medications, assess pancreatic and cardiac health, and perform cultures or cytology to identify infections or abnormal cells.

Many tests are performed in-house for fast results, while others are sent to trusted veterinary diagnostic laboratories for further analysis. Our goal is to provide accurate, timely information so we can create the most effective care plan for your pet.
