Hi all....

Yesterday had GiGi checked for Lyme disease. Used a new Vet. She said that the test would cover heartworm, lyme and 2 other tests and that cost me approx. $45.00. Sounds reasonable to me. We should get the results by Monday...this is just a precautionary test.

Can you tell me what blood work test you have done at your annual Vet visit and how much you pay.

Not trying to be picky here but we are switching to a new Vet do to a very bad experience with the one we had been using since 2004. I am checking everything now till we are sure we are getting the right service.

Thanks
Tina

Routine blood work, heart worm test, and a complete panel to check for pancreatitis. I think ours ran about $150. The heart worm test was less expensive. I think it was about $40? But don't remember for sure. Glad you found a new vet!

With mine they get the CMP Panel (comprehensive metabolic panel)Also test HW as well. This cost for me is
$85.00. Since I take my girls in every 6 months they get this twice a year.

We did the senior wellness panel on Callie last year because she was having some issues and it checks a lot of her organs, for any tick transmitted illness, heart worms, and blood count. I think it was around $200.
