IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:
All VDI lab tests should be interpreted in the context of the pet’s entire clinical picture and in consultation with a licensed veterinarian or other qualified professional. The comments, recommendations, and products provided in the VDI lab report are intended to support and inform the medical plan of the attending or consulting veterinarian and should not be considered as medical directives from VDI Laboratory.
Laboratory testing is one component of a patient’s overall clinical evaluation and should not be relied upon as a standalone diagnosis. Results should be interpreted by a veterinarian in conjunction with the patient’s history, clinical signs, physical examination, and other relevant diagnostic findings. Laboratory results may help identify, support, exclude, or further evaluate potential causes of disease, but no individual test can guarantee identification of the underlying cause of a patient’s clinical signs.
