Clinical Pathology

Fast, accurate diagnostics — in-house and on time

At Eureka Veterinary Clinic, we’re equipped with modern laboratory technology and skilled staff to deliver fast, accurate diagnostic test results — often on the same day. This means we can make quicker decisions and provide timely treatment when your pet needs it most.

Whether it’s an emergency, an after-hours case, or a sick patient needing urgent care, having lab testing available onsite makes a real difference in how quickly we can help.

What tests do we offer?

Our in-house laboratory is capable of running a wide range of diagnostic tests, including:

• Blood chemistry panels (organ function, glucose, electrolytes)

• Complete blood counts (infection, inflammation, anaemia)

• Clotting profiles

• Urinalysis

• Cytology – microscopic examination of:
  • Lumps and masses
  • Ear swabs
  • Skin scrapings

These tests help us assess your pet’s health in detail and guide appropriate treatment decisions — whether we’re investigating illness or confirming your pet is healthy.

Monitoring health, not just treating illness

While testing is critical when a pet is unwell, it’s also an excellent tool for preventive care. We often recommend annual health screens, particularly for:

• Senior pets

• Pets on long-term medication
• Breeds prone to specific health issues
• Pets undergoing general anaesthesia

Routine blood and urine testing allows us to catch subtle changes early — often before symptoms appear — helping your pet live a longer, healthier life.

Why choose Eureka Vet for pathology?

By investing in high-quality diagnostic equipment and ongoing staff training, we’re able to offer:

• Faster answers
• More accurate diagnoses
• Better outcomes for your pets

And because everything is done onsite, you won’t have to wait days for results — especially important when time matters most.

If you have questions about diagnostic testing or want to book a health check for your pet, we’re here to help.
