In-Clinic Diagnostics

Having an in-house diagnostics laboratory, as well as digital radiography and ultrasound capabilities means that Fulton Veterinary Clinic offers a wide range of diagnostic services in one location. These in-house testing capabilities provide pet owners in Fulton, Smithville, Amory, and other nearby communities with an efficient diagnosing process for their pets.

Some health conditions may not be obvious during an external examination. For this reason, we use in-house diagnostic tests to get an accurate picture of your pet’s overall health. Some of the typical tests that we perform include:

Blood work check: We provide complete blood count (CBC), serum chemistry profiles including kidney and liver function, electrolytes, blood glucose, pancreatic enzymes, thyroid function, and many other personalized test panels.

Heartworms: We offer a regular SNAP heartworm test which tests for high and low antigen of heartworm infection. We also offer the SNAP 4DX test which tests for heartworm antigen, lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and ehrlichiosis. We also include microfilaria testing on any positive result.

Feline Viruses: We offer FELV/FIV testing with a SNAP test that tests for feline leukemia virus and feline immunodeficiency virus.

Fecal: We do same day in house fecal testing for intestinal parasites

Urinalysis: We do urinalysis tests to look for signs of urinary tract infection, crystal formation, and to rule out or confirm certain other metabolic conditions.

We utilize IDEXX laboratories in house blood analyzers such as IDEXX Catalyst One, and IDEXX ProCyte DX, as well as IDEXX SNAP Pro machines. We get results during your visit so that a comprehensive medical plan can be made before you leave the building. If we do not have the ability to run a specific test in house, we can always send out to any of our partnering laboratories for more results.

At Fulton Veterinary Clinic, we recommend regular diagnostic testing so that our veterinarian will have baseline information about your pet. Having a history of test results lets us know if there is a significant change that indicates an underlying condition or disease.
