In-House Laboratory Testing in Moncks Corner, SC
Timely lab results play a critical role in making informed decisions about your pet’s care. At Foxbank Veterinary Hospital, our in-house laboratory allows us to perform diagnostic testing with same-day results for surgical screening and illness evaluation.
We offer in-house blood panels, urinalysis, fecal parasite tests, and heartworm testing to assess your pet’s health quickly and accurately. Bloodwork helps evaluate organ function and detect infection or inflammation. Urinalysis provides insight into kidney function and urinary health. Fecal testing identifies intestinal parasites, while heartworm screening helps detect exposure and guide prevention or treatment.
When your pet is showing signs of illness, immediate access to lab results allows us to move from symptoms to answers without delay. Early detection helps identify issues before they progress and supports more effective treatment.
Laboratory testing is also an important part of monitoring chronic conditions and ensuring your pet is prepared safely for anesthesia or surgery.
