Our laboratory performs blood chemistry panels that evaluate the function of several organs, including the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and thyroid gland. Complete blood counts assess red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, helping us detect anemia, infection, clotting disorders, and immune system problems.
We analyze urine samples to screen for kidney disease, diabetes, urinary tract infections, and bladder stones. We also perform fecal examinations to detect intestinal parasites, cytology to examine cells from masses or fluid samples, and various screening tests for infectious diseases. Having these capabilities on-site eliminates the delays associated with sending samples to outside laboratories, allowing us to make informed decisions about your pet’s care during your visit.
Please note that, in some situations, we may need to send your pet’s samples to an outside laboratory for advanced testing. If we are unable to perform a necessary test in-house, we will discuss your options with you.
