Although laboratory analyses are not as frequently a part of the veterinary care of pet animals compared to the medical care of humans [31] , we hypothesize that the consistency of test orders over time is such that increases in cases of disease will result in detectable increases in the number of test orders submitted by veterinarians that can be identified using prospective analysis.
