Plain-language guides from our lab: what each test measures, when to test, and how to look after dogs, cats, cows and buffaloes.
For suspected canine distemper, the rapid test gives a quick first look, RT-PCR looks for the virus's genetic material and can find small amounts, and the ELISA adds information from the immune side. Vets often read them together.

A positive feline coronavirus RT-PCR does not mean a cat has FIP, because many healthy cats carry the virus. Vets read the result with the cat's signs, any body fluid and other tests such as the Rivalta test and SAA.

A cattle viral RT-PCR panel tests for five viruses in one booking: FMD, lumpy skin disease, BVD, bluetongue and IBR. It helps when a sick cow or buffalo has signs that fit more than one virus.

A smear shows tick fever parasites you can see under a microscope, while tick fever RT-PCR can also find light infections and carriers that a smear may miss. Together they give a vet a fuller picture.

A rabies antibody titre test shows whether a vaccinated dog or cat has made antibodies after the rabies vaccine. It never shows infection, and anyone bitten or scratched must see a doctor at once.

Before travelling with a dog or cat, ask your vet what the destination and airline require, then book blood tests early. A rabies titre is one item, and the lab cannot promise any country will accept a report.

A lab test can show whether a vaccinated dog or cat has made rabies antibodies, but it cannot show whether a pet has rabies. Vaccination protects, and anyone bitten or scratched must see a doctor at once.

A CBC counts the red cells, white cells and platelets in your pet's blood. Each kind does a different job, so a raised or lowered count can hint at anaemia, infection or a clotting problem.

A liver care panel is a group of blood tests, typically an LFT, GGT, bile acids and albumin, that shows whether liver cells are damaged and whether the liver is still working. Your vet reads it with your pet's signs.

A kidney care panel uses blood and urine tests together to show how well the kidneys clean the blood and whether they leak protein. It typically includes a KFT, SDMA, a urine protein ratio and the blood salts.

A urine routine test checks the colour, concentration and chemistry of urine and looks at it under the microscope. It can help detect kidney strain, infection, diabetes and crystals in dogs and cats.

Vets commonly use cPL in dogs and fPL in cats to check for pancreatitis, an inflamed pancreas. The tests are read with the signs, an examination and often a scan, because no single blood test settles the question.
