Dog lab tests & health packages in Bhopal

Lab tests can help your vet find out why a dog is unwell, check its liver and kidneys, and look for germs that cause tick fever or parvo. Sample collection is free anywhere in Bhopal.

A dog cannot tell you what is wrong. A lab test can show what is happening inside its body. A vet may ask for tests when a dog has fever, weakness, vomiting, loose motions, itching, weight loss or a lump. Tests are also used for health checks and before surgery.

The lab does blood counts, liver and kidney tests, blood sugar and thyroid tests, urine and stool tests, skin tests and blood parasite smears. For dogs, rapid tests, ELISA and PCR tests can help detect infections such as parvo, distemper and tick fever. Parvo is a virus that mostly hits puppies. ELISA and PCR are lab tests that look for the germ itself or the body's reaction to it. Culture and sensitivity tests grow the germ and show which antibiotics may work against it. A biopsy or cell test (cytology) looks at tissue or cells from a lump under a microscope.

Sample collection is free anywhere in Bhopal. Routine tests are normally reported the same day or within 24 hours. For PCR, ELISA, culture, biopsy and other special tests, the reporting time is confirmed when you book. Reports reach you on WhatsApp or email and in My Reports on this website. A registered veterinarian reads the results together with your dog's signs and history.

Common problems

Illnesses in dogs and the tests that help

Tick fever

Tick fever is a blood infection spread by ticks, with signs such as fever, weakness and pale gums. A blood parasite smear (blood looked at under a microscope), a Snap 4Dx rapid test or a PCR test can help detect it, and a CBC (blood cell count) shows how the blood is affected.

Parvovirus (parvo)

Parvo mostly affects puppies and can cause vomiting, loose motions and weakness. A rapid stool test, an ELISA or a PCR test can help detect the virus, and a CBC can show how the blood is affected.

Distemper

Distemper is a viral disease that can affect a dog's eyes, nose, lungs, stomach and nerves. A rapid test, an ELISA or a PCR test can help detect the virus.

Kidney disease

Kidney disease means the kidneys are not cleaning the blood well, and it is more common in older dogs. A kidney function test (KFT), an SDMA test (another kidney marker in the blood) and a urine test can help your vet see how the kidneys are working.

Liver and pancreas problems

Liver or pancreas trouble may show up as vomiting, loss of appetite or yellow eyes and gums. A liver function test (LFT) and a canine pancreatic lipase (cPL) test can help your vet look for the cause.

Skin problems

Itching, hair loss and sores can have many causes, such as mites, fungus or bacteria. A skin scraping, a fungus test and a culture and sensitivity test can help find the cause, and your vet may then choose treatment.

Check-up guide

When to test a dog

  1. Puppy (first year)

    Vets often consider a stool test for worms, and a CBC or a rapid parvo or distemper test if a puppy has vomiting, loose motions or looks dull. Ask your vet what is right for your animal.

  2. Adult dog (after the first year)

    Vets often consider a CBC, liver and kidney tests, a blood parasite smear for tick fever, and urine and stool tests as part of a yearly health check. Ask your vet what is right for your animal.

  3. Older dog (senior years)

    Vets often consider liver, kidney, blood sugar and thyroid tests, along with a CBC and a urine test, because long-term illness becomes more common with age. Ask your vet what is right for your animal.

  4. Before surgery

    Vets often consider blood tests before surgery, such as a CBC with liver, kidney, protein and sugar tests, to check that a dog is fit for anaesthesia. Ask your vet what is right for your animal.
