Diagnostic Pathology & Clinical Laboratory
Accurate, rapid diagnostics are the cornerstone of modern, evidence-based veterinary medicine. At General Veterinary Hospital (GVH), we do not rely on symptomatic guesswork.
Our fully equipped in-house clinical laboratory allows our veterinary surgeons to achieve rapid, confirmatory diagnoses. Supervised by our PhD-qualified veterinary pathology leadership, our lab serves both our small animal intensive care units and our commercial agricultural clients across the Punjab region.
Diagnostic Reference Partners
Our in-house capabilities are supported by a robust network of specialized reference laboratories, ensuring the highest standards of diagnostic accuracy and quality control for complex testing.
Companion Animal Diagnostics
When a pet is critically ill, time is of the essence. Our in-house laboratory provides immediate, actionable data to our clinical team, allowing for rapid intervention. Our core diagnostic services include:
- Hematology & Biochemistry: Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and serum biochemistry profiling to assess organ function (liver, kidneys) prior to surgery or during illness.
- Microbiology & Cytology: Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) for tumor assessment, fluid analysis, and blood smear microscopy for detecting tick-borne hemoparasites.
- Rapid Infectious Disease Screening: Point-of-care antigen/antibody testing for Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Feline Panleukopenia, and FIV/FeLV.
- Urinalysis & Parasitology: Microscopic fecal evaluations for intestinal worms and complete urine profiling for FLUTD and urinary tract infections.
Agricultural & Dairy Testing Services
In addition to companion animal care, our laboratory supports the local agricultural economy through specialized testing for dairy farms, breeders, and livestock owners.
Advanced Milk Testing Lab
We operate a dedicated commercial milk testing facility for dairy farmers. We screen for subclinical mastitis, monitor somatic cell counts (SCC), and perform microbiological cultures to identify specific bacterial pathogens, ensuring the safety and profitability of dairy herds.
Necropsy & Postmortem Diagnostics
Supervised by our PhD veterinary pathologists, we conduct comprehensive postmortem examinations (necropsies) for flock and herd sudden-death investigations. This service is vital for identifying infectious outbreaks and securing herd biosecurity.
