Veterinary Diagnostics for Pets in Florida: Bloodwork, Lab Tests, X-Rays, Ultrasound & Endoscopy
When your pet isn’t feeling well, or even when they seem perfectly fine, diagnostic testing gives us the answers we need to protect their health.

Bloodwork for Pets: The Foundation of Preventive Care
Routine blood testing is one of the most powerful tools for protecting your pet’s long-term health. These tests help us:
- Detect diseases such as diabetes, kidney disease, thyroid disorders, and liver conditions.
- Monitor the effectiveness of ongoing treatments.
- Provide safe anesthesia for surgeries through pre-operative screenings.
- Establish a baseline of health for comparison as your pet ages.
Types of bloodwork offered at Forever Vets include:
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
A CBC evaluates red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets to detect infection, anemia, or immune issues.
Blood Chemistry Panels
Various chemistry panels are chosen to assess specific organ function, electrolyte balance, glucose levels, and therapeutic drug levels.
Thyroid Function Tests
Measuring thyroid hormones helps identify hyperthyroidism in cats or hypothyroidism in dogs.
Clotting Tests
Verifying clotting factors are present ensures your pet can safely undergo surgery or recover from injury.
Lab Tests for Pets: Answers You Can Trust, Fast
Our in-house laboratory allows us to run many tests with same-day results, minimizing stress for pets and families. These services include:
Urinalysis
A small urine sample allows us to detect infections, blockages, crystals, and metabolic conditions.
Fecal Testing & Parasite Screening
A fecal exam identifies roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and other parasites.
Microscopic Exams
Ear swabs, skin scrapes, and skin impressions help diagnose infections, yeast, or mites.
SNAP Tests
Quick (10-minute) SNAP tests provide results for heartworm, parvo, feline leukemia, and more.
Biopsies
Fine needle aspiration (FNA) and histopathology of lumps and bumps evaluate abnormal growths.
Electrocardiograms (ECG)
An ECG is a non-invasive heart test for rhythm and rate abnormalities.
Blood Pressure Screenings
Blood pressure checks detect hypertension, which can signal thyroid, kidney, or endocrine disease.
X-Rays & Ultrasound for Pets: A Clear View Inside
When your pet needs imaging, our advanced technology gives us the clearest possible look at what’s going on internally.
- Digital Radiography (X-Rays): Digital radiography provides high-quality images with lower radiation exposure. X-rays are used to diagnose fractures, respiratory problems, foreign body ingestion, arthritis, and more.
- Ultrasound Imaging: Noninvasive and painless, ultrasound helps detect organ abnormalities, heart conditions, pregnancy, and fluid buildup.
Endoscopy & Laparoscopy at Furever Vets Central
For pets who need advanced, minimally invasive testing, Furever Vets Central offers:
- Endoscopy: A flexible camera allows us to visualize and biopsy the esophagus, stomach, and intestines without major surgery. Endoscopy is ideal for chronic vomiting, diarrhea, or suspected foreign bodies.
- Laparoscopy: Small incisions and a camera provide a safer, less invasive way to explore the abdomen, obtain biopsies, or assist with certain surgeries.
