The sooner that testing can be done, the sooner we can help your pets! For this reason, we perform both in-house rapid testing and send-out testing through trusted laboratories. This helps us to minimize overnight hospitalization and initiate treatment sooner!
We have a variety of in-house laboratory equipment that can be utilized and provide results in minutes. Examples of in-house testing include:
Pre-anesthetic bloodwork
Complete blood count (for emergency conditions)
Standard blood chemistry (for emergency conditions)
Blood glucose
Fecal testing (for sick patients)
Parvovirus testing
Urinalysis (for sick patients)
FeLV/FIV testing
Heartworm testing
Skin cytology (for parasites, bacteria, and fungi)
We generally submit routine or more involved tests to an outside laboratory for analysis. These results often return within one to two business days. Examples of send-out testing include:
Routine bloodwork and urinalysis
Fecal testing
Tick-borne disease screening
Cytology of masses
Biopsies
Cushing's disease testing
Addison's disease testing
Bacterial culture
Intestinal disorder testing
Gene-specific disorder testing
