FLUID EXAMINATION ROUTINE

Description

Fluid Examination Routine for Dogs & Cats – At-Home Veterinary Diagnostic Service

The Fluid Examination Routine is a comprehensive veterinary diagnostic test that analyses abnormal fluid accumulations in body cavities of dogs and cats. This includes evaluation of pleural effusion (chest fluid), peritoneal effusion (abdominal fluid), pericardial fluid, and joint fluid. The test measures cell types, protein content, and other key characteristics to identify the underlying disease process — whether it is infection, cancer, organ failure, or immune-mediated inflammation.

Why Is a Fluid Examination Routine Needed?

Body cavity fluids provide a direct sample of the disease process in your pet. Abnormal fluid build-up in dogs and cats is often a sign of a serious underlying condition. A cytological analysis of the collected fluid helps veterinarians accurately diagnose:

• Septic peritonitis and bacterial infections
• Cardiac tamponade and pericardial effusion
• Cancer and lymphoma
• Immune-mediated diseases
• Chronic organ failure (liver, kidney)

What Does the Fluid Examination Routine Include?

• Cell count and differential (cytology)
• Total protein measurement
• Specific gravity analysis
• Microbiological assessment
• Fluid classification (transudate, modified transudate, exudate)

Our trained veterinary team collects the fluid sample at your home using ultrasound-guided or clinical techniques, ensuring safe and accurate sampling with minimal discomfort to your pet.

Turnaround Time
