Clinical pathology helps us understand what is happening inside your pet’s body by analysing samples such as blood, urine, faeces, and tissue. At Narangba Vet, we use both in-clinic testing and external laboratories to provide accurate and timely results that guide diagnosis and treatment.
CLINICAL PATHOLOGY
AT NARANGBA VET
WHY CLINICAL PATHOLOGY IS IMPORTANT
Many health conditions cannot be identified through a physical examination alone. Laboratory testing allows us to detect:
Infections
Anaemia
Organ disease
Hormonal imbalances
Inflammation
Immune system conditions
Metabolic or electrolyte problems
These tests help us diagnose illness early, monitor ongoing conditions, and create the most effective treatment plan.
IN CLINIC TESTING
Our in-clinic laboratory allows us to perform many tests on the same day, giving your veterinarian fast and reliable information. This is especially important for sick pets or those needing urgent care. Common in clinic tests include:
Blood tests
Urine analysis
Faecal testing
Microscopic examination of skin and ear samples
Having immediate access to results means we can make quicker decisions about treatment and improve patient outcomes.
EXTERNAL LABORATORY SUPPORT
For more complex or specialised testing, we work closely with trusted external laboratories. These laboratories provide advanced diagnostics such as:
Hormone testing
Detailed blood panels
Cytology and histopathology
Infectious disease screening
Specialised cultures and sensitivity testing
Your vet will explain which tests are recommended and why they are beneficial for your pet.
MONITORING CHRONIC CONDITIONS
Ongoing health issues often require regular testing to track progress and adjust treatment. Clinical pathology helps us monitor:
Kidney disease
Diabetes
Long-term medication safety
Liver disease
Thyroid disorders
Age-related changes
Routine monitoring supports early intervention and helps keep your pet comfortable and stable.
