On-Site Laboratory Services in Lubbock, TX

Fast, Accurate Diagnostics for Your Pet’s Health

At Animal Medical Center in Lubbock, TX, we’re equipped with a full-service, on-site veterinary laboratory that allows us to perform a wide range of diagnostic tests quickly and accurately. When your pet is sick or in need of urgent care, time matters—and having access to immediate test results helps our veterinarians make fast, informed medical and surgical decisions.

By offering in-house lab testing, we can diagnose many health issues within minutes—helping us begin treatment right away and improving outcomes for your pet.

Why On-Site Testing Matters

When pets are ill, even subtle changes in their bloodwork, urine, or stool can provide crucial clues about what’s going on inside their bodies. Instead of waiting days for results from an outside lab, our in-house equipment gives us real-time answers, allowing us to:

  • Diagnose and begin treatment faster

  • Monitor critical patients during surgery or hospitalization

  • Evaluate your pet’s overall health during routine wellness visits

  • Detect early signs of disease before symptoms become severe

Our In-House Diagnostic Tests Include:

Complete Blood Count (CBC)
Measures red and white blood cells and platelets to detect anemia, infection, inflammation, and clotting disorders.

Chemistry Panel
Evaluates organ function—such as the liver, kidneys, and pancreas—and provides important data on electrolytes, blood sugar, and protein levels.

Urinalysis
Assesses kidney function and detects urinary tract infections, crystals, and other urinary abnormalities.

Fecal Analysis
Checks for intestinal parasites, blood, and abnormal cells that can cause diarrhea or digestive issues.

Heartworm and Tick-Borne Disease Testing
Quickly screens dogs for heartworm disease and tick-borne illnesses such as Ehrlichia or Anaplasma, which are common in our region.

Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) Testing
A rapid 10-minute test that detects these serious viral infections in cats.

Pancreatitis Testing
Identifies elevated pancreatic enzymes to help diagnose pancreatitis—a potentially life-threatening condition that requires immediate care.

Cytology (Microscopic Cell Evaluation)
Used to examine samples from the skin, ears, or masses to help diagnose infections, allergies, or cancerous growths.
