Will my cat need a lab test prior to cat diagnostic imaging? - Animal Hospital of Statesville
Not necessarily, but it's possible because we are trying to figure out the whole picture of what's going on. So if it's indicated, blood work like a complete blood count or chemistry might be indicated. If your pet is older, it might even include a urine test or a thyroid test for a cat. But we don't always require sedation. Lab work may or may not be required for the imaging.
