In-House Pathology: Accurate and Efficient Diagnostics

At Rosebery Veterinary Hospital, our in-house laboratory is equipped with the latest advanced blood and urine testing technology. These diagnostic tools combined with physical examination findings allow us to provide prompt, accurate diagnoses.

Why Blood and Urine Tests Are Important

  • Blood Tests: Reveal critical information about internal organ function, immune system health, blood sugar, protein levels, inflammation, clotting times, and hormones.
  • Urine Tests: Help identify kidney function issues, infections, or other underlying conditions.


These tests are essential for diagnosing symptoms such as vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, changes in toilet habits, or lethargy. Pre-anaesthetic blood tests are also performed to ensure the safety of your pet during procedures.

Senior Pet Care

We recommend annual blood and urine tests for senior pets to detect early signs of age-related conditions. Early diagnosis allows us to implement treatments that slow disease progression and improve quality of life.

Advantages of In-House Testing

  • Rapid Results: Immediate access to test outcomes allows us to initiate treatment quickly, especially in urgent or critical cases.
  • Comprehensive Diagnostics: Blood, urine and cytology are performed on-site to monitor chronic conditions and detect new issues.
  • Advanced Care: Faster diagnosis means timely interventions, improving recovery and giving you peace of mind.

External Reference Laboratories

In cases requiring further analysis, samples are sent to external reference laboratories for additional testing.
