House Calls and Lab Work
As one concerned pet parent said to the other, “What’s she gonna do in a house call? She can’t do allergy testing!”
au contraire, I can do more in a house call because your pet is not so nervous!
Routine diagnostic testing for the following:
- Bloodwork: CBC, Chemistry Panel, T4, FELV/FIV testing
- Urinalysis and Sediment examination
- Cytology of skin & ear samples
- Thyroid Testing- either Dr. Jean Dodds’ lab in California or Idexx for thyroid panel for dogs (T4, fT4, T4 antibodies, TSH level, TSH antibodies)
- Blood pressure measurements are typically 20 points elevated at the vet hospital. At home, we have a better chance of a valid reading.
- Adrenal testing
- Liver function- bile acid testing (2-hr visit- we should combine it with a full visit so we can keep busy consulting together while your dog relaxes and thinks humans are strange for talking so much!)
