In-Clinic Diagnostics

Family Pet Health Care’s in-house diagnostics laboratory and digital radiography capabilities provide pet owners with an efficient diagnosing procedure for their pets. We can process many test results on site, typically within an hour. This is especially beneficial for critical illness and injury cases that need prompt diagnosis and treatment.

Our in-house diagnostic capabilities enable us to perform a variety of tests that help identify your pet’s condition quickly and accurately. Some of the tests that we conduct include blood chemistry panels, complete blood counts, pre-op blood work, urinalysis, heartworm and feline leukemia/immune deficiency viral tests, fecal flotations, liver and kidney values, thyroid testing, and more.

Some health conditions may not be obvious during an external examination. For this reason, we recommend blood work at your pet’s annual check-up to provide a consistent record of your pet’s health history. Should any significant changes show up in the test results, we would be able to identify potential health issues before they become a major issue. We also conduct blood work screenings for pets who are scheduled for surgery to ensure there are no underlying issues that may result in complications.

Family Pet Health Care provides diagnostic services for pets in Decatur, Hartselle, Priceville, Madison, and beyond.

  • “I took my dog, Waylan, here and was referred to Dr. Berschneider who Waylan loved immensely. She worked on his back alignment as well as acupuncture. She soon diagnosed him with a torn ACL and he went on to have surgery. She found the cause of his pain by listening to him when several other doctor offices wrote it off as minor unrelated issues. I have been to 3 different vets and this is the only one that took his discomfort seriously and found the cause of the problem.”
