Diagnostic Tests for Small Animal Endocrinopathies: A Summary for Vet Techs
Between diabetes, hypo- and hyperthyroidism, Addison’s, and Cushing’s disease, endocrinopathies are relatively common in small animal general practice.
As a vet tech, you will probably be responsible for running laboratory tests for patients who are suspected to have these endocrine diseases.
While it’s always best to confirm the reference laboratory’s recommended protocol before performing a test, you need to have a general understanding of how these conditions are worked up.
This understanding will allow you to explain the recommended tests to clients and schedule these tests appropriately.
