Veterinary Diagnostic Services in Pune

Clinical Pathology (CBC & Biochemistry)

Clinical pathology is the foundation of veterinary diagnostics. A Complete Blood Count (CBC) measures red cells, white cells and platelets to reveal anaemia, infection, inflammation and clotting problems, while a biochemistry panel assesses organ function — liver, kidney, pancreas — and metabolic status. These tests are the right first step for almost any unexplained illness, for pre-surgical screening, and for routine health checks in ageing pets and breeding livestock. Results are typically ready within 24 to 48 hours.

RT-PCR Molecular Diagnostics

RT-PCR detects the genetic material of viruses and pathogens directly, making it the most sensitive way to confirm active infection — often before clinical signs appear. PVD offers RT-PCR for Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) in livestock and for Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, FIP, FeLV, FIV and equine influenza in companion animals. Because early, accurate confirmation is critical for outbreak control, RT-PCR results are delivered within 24 hours, with same-day processing available for critical outbreak cases.

ELISA & Serology

ELISA testing detects antibodies or antigens and is the workhorse of disease surveillance and export certification. It is widely used to screen herds for Brucellosis, Leptospirosis and FMD antibodies — essential for dairy operations, breeding programmes and any livestock trade that requires health certification. ELISA is the right choice when you need to screen many animals efficiently or document disease-free status for regulatory purposes.

Histopathology & Cytology

When a lump, mass or tissue abnormality appears, histopathology and cytology provide the definitive answer. Cytology examines cells from fine-needle aspirates or fluids for rapid screening, while histopathology examines tissue architecture to classify tumours and confirm diagnoses. These services, supervised by veterinary pathologist Dr. Akaram Bagal, are essential for cancer diagnosis, post-mortem investigation and any case where a tissue-level answer is needed. Histopathology typically takes 5 to 7 days.

DNA & Genetic Testing

PVD’s molecular programme, led through Verity Vet Laboratories, offers DNA breed identification, parentage verification using STR markers, and hereditary disease screening. These tests serve stud farms, pet breeders and serious livestock farmers who need verifiable genetic documentation — for breeding decisions, registration, or export-grade certification of valuable animals.

Microbiology, Culture Sensitivity & Herd Health Monitoring

Bacterial culture with antibiotic sensitivity testing identifies the exact organism causing an infection and the precise antibiotic that will treat it — critical for responsible antimicrobial use and for stubborn or recurrent infections such as mastitis. Beyond individual tests, PVD’s herd health monitoring packages combine screening across a whole group of animals to catch disease early and protect productivity, with packages starting at affordable per-animal rates for groups of five or more.

How collection and turnaround work

Every service follows the same simple path: book by phone, WhatsApp or form; a technician collects the sample from your location at no charge within Pune; the sample is transported under cold-chain to a partner lab; and a specialist-reviewed digital report reaches you via WhatsApp and email. Most clinical pathology and RT-PCR results arrive within 24 to 48 hours, with free follow-up so you and your veterinarian can act on the findings with confidence.
