Comprehensive Diagnostic Capabilities
Our in-house laboratory is equipped to handle a wide range of tests, including:
Complete Blood Counts (CBCs)
This test evaluates your pet's red and white blood cells and platelets, helping us detect infections, anemia, or other underlying conditions affecting their health.
Chemistry Panels
These tests assess your pet’s organ function, allowing us to identify and address issues such as kidney failure, liver disease, or diabetes.
Electrolyte Testing
Monitoring your pet’s electrolyte levels helps us identify dehydration and potentially life-threatening imbalances quickly.
Clotting Profiles
This test checks your pet’s ability to clot blood properly, which is crucial in trauma cases or if a clotting disorder is suspected.
Fecal Exams
Fecal analysis allows us to detect gastrointestinal parasites or infections, which can often present suddenly and may be transmissible to other pets or people.
Urinalysis
This test examines your pet’s urine to identify issues such as kidney disease, urinary tract infections, or signs of diabetes, helping us address concerns quickly.
Infectious Disease Tests
We offer testing for a variety of infectious diseases, such as parvovirus, Lyme disease, and more, ensuring we can diagnose and begin treatment without delay.
Digital Cytology
With digital cytology, we can evaluate cellular samples in real time, sending high-quality images to a pathologist for rapid analysis of infections, inflammation, or potential cancer.
Why an In-House Lab Matters in Pet Emergencies
In emergency situations, waiting hours—or even days—for lab results isn’t an option. An in-house lab enables our team to:
-
Diagnose critical conditions, such as internal bleeding or organ failure, without delay.
-
Monitor your pet’s response to treatment in real-time, allowing for immediate adjustments as needed.
-
Expedite life-saving interventions for trauma, poisoning, or other urgent medical conditions.
Our laboratory is an essential tool in ensuring we provide your pet with the best possible care when every second matters.
