Diagnostic Laboratory

Diagnostic Laboratory in Greenville, SC

FurWell at Barkingham operates a full-service diagnostic laboratory to support accurate, timely diagnosis for your pets. Our advanced testing capabilities enable faster answers and better care decisions.

Understanding Diagnostic Laboratory Services

Diagnostic laboratory testing encompasses a wide range of blood, urine, and fecal tests that give our veterinarians detailed insight into your pet's internal health. These tests can detect infections, organ dysfunction, metabolic disorders, parasites, hormonal imbalances, and much more. Both routine wellness panels and specialized diagnostic tests are available.

What to Expect During a Diagnostic Lab Visit

Sample Collection

Our trained staff collects the appropriate samples efficiently and with minimal stress for your pet.

In-House Processing

Most standard tests are processed in our on-site lab. Results are typically ready within 15-30 minutes for in-house panels, allowing same-visit diagnosis and treatment planning.

Clear Results and Discussion

Our veterinarians review results with you in plain language, explain what they mean, and outline the recommended next steps for your pet's care.

Why Diagnostic Lab Testing is Important

Comprehensive Health Insights

Lab tests reveal what physical exams cannot. They provide objective data about organ function, blood health, and disease markers that are critical for accurate diagnosis.

Faster Diagnosis and Treatment

In-house testing means results in minutes rather than days, allowing our team to start treatment right away when time matters most.

Baseline Data for Future Comparison

Regular lab work establishes healthy baseline values, making it easier to detect changes over time and catch disease earlier.

Frequently Asked Questions

What diagnostic tests does your lab offer?

Our diagnostic laboratory can perform complete blood counts (CBC), chemistry panels, urinalysis, fecal parasite screening, thyroid and hormone panels, infectious disease testing, and more. We can also send samples to reference laboratories for specialized testing when needed.

How long do test results take?

Most in-house test results are available within 15-30 minutes. Reference lab results for specialized tests typically take 24-72 hours. Our team will advise you on expected turnaround times when ordering tests.

Does my pet need to fast before diagnostic testing?

Some tests such as fasting glucose or certain chemistry panels require your pet to fast for 8-12 hours beforehand. Our team will provide specific instructions when scheduling. Bring a fresh stool sample if fecal testing is needed.

Can you perform all tests in-house or do some go to an external lab?

We offer a comprehensive range of in-house diagnostics. For highly specialized tests such as advanced pathology, genetics, or reference panels not available in-house, we partner with accredited external labs to ensure accuracy and speed.
