Yes an animal can be tested for cancer. If you suspect your dog may have cancer contact your vet and schedule a physical. Normally they will take blood and test it, unless there is a growth then they can take sample of that growth and biopsy it.
It is also possible to diagnose feline leukemia with a blood test that measures the total number of white blood cells. The number of white blood cells (WBCs) in a healthy cat ranges from 5,500-20,000 WBC per mm3 blood.If your cat has leukemia, the number of WBCs can increase or can plummet.he saliva test is simple to do, but is less accurate than blood tests. Tests of blood, saliva, or tears can look for specific leukemia proteins. Finding the leukemia proteins does not mean your cat will become ill with leukemia. Some of these cats clear the virus from their bodies completely and never become ill.
