Physical exams and history are very important in telling what is wrong with a pet, but in most cases, further diagnostics are required to diagnose a disease or narrow a list of possible diseases to just a few. Just like when you go to your doctor and need to have blood work or x-rays or an ultrasound done, my patients often require some of these procedures. Diagnostic sounds like a scary word but it is really not scary. It is essential in giving clues to what is going on with a patient. There are many diseases that can be picked up on routine blood work prior to causing any clinical signs.
