Shamrock Animal Hospital

Pet Diagnostics & Bloodwork in Mount Dora

If you’ve been to your doctor for an annual physical, you likely have had blood drawn to help identify the status of various body functions and organs.  At Shamrock Animal Hospital, we subscribe to the recommendations of the American Veterinary Medical Association standards that bloodwork be done annually for our pets.  Keep in mind, your dog or cat ages the equivalent of 7 years for each calendar year.

Marbles, dog toys, sewing needles, corn cobs, coins & batteries.  What these things all have in common is that dogs and cats are prone to swallowing them and many other things!  Our in-house, digital x-ray technology allows us to identify these conditions as well as broken bones, tumors and other conditions.

Regular diagnostics (blood, fecal and urinalysis) help Dr. Fagan and the Shamrock team to create a baseline reading of how all of your pets body functions are operating.   Even in healthy pets, there are times when routine bloodwork or diagnostics help us to identify potential health issues for your dog or cat at the very earliest stages.
