At Tree of Life Exotic Pet Medical Center, we know that exotic pets can hide signs of illness until the problem becomes advanced. That’s why fast, accurate diagnostic testing is so important. Our fully equipped in-house laboratory allows us to perform many tests right here in our hospital—giving you answers sooner and allowing us to start treatment without unnecessary delays.
Early Detection Saves Lives– Many illnesses can be treated more effectively if caught early. Diagnostic testing can reveal underlying issues before they become serious.
A Complete Health Picture– Even if your pet seems healthy, testing can uncover subtle changes or provide baseline results for future comparison.
Guidance for Treatment– Test results help our veterinarians choose the most effective treatment plan for your pet’s specific needs.
We offer species-appropriate testing for birds, reptiles, small mammals, amphibians, and fish, including:
Bloodwork– Complete blood counts, chemistry panels, and specialized avian/reptile panels
Fecal Testing– Microscopic exams for parasites, bacterial overgrowth, and other gastrointestinal concerns
Urinalysis– Assessment of kidney function, hydration status, and urinary tract health
Cytology– Examination of cells from lumps, lesions, or fluids to detect infection, inflammation, or cancer
Because our laboratory is on-site, most results are available the same day—sometimes within minutes. This means:
Immediate adjustments to your pet’s treatment plan when needed
Shorter wait times and fewer follow-up visits for urgent cases
Less stress for your pet by reducing the need for multiple appointments
While you know your pet’s personality and can spot when something is “off,” determining the why requires deeper investigation. Our in-house diagnostics give us that insight quickly, so we can work together to keep your pet healthy and thriving.
