We are proud to have a well-equipped in-house laboratory, allowing us to perform a variety of diagnostic tests quickly and accurately. Here are some of the key tests we can run directly in our hospital:
- CBC (Complete Blood Count): This test helps us evaluate your pet’s overall health by measuring blood cells, which can detect issues like infection, anemia, and inflammation.
- Chemistry Panel: This panel assesses vital organ function, such as the liver and kidneys, helping us diagnose and monitor conditions affecting these organs.
- Heartworm Test: A quick test to check for heartworm infection, which is essential for dogs and recommended for cats in certain areas.
- Feline Leukemia/FIV Test: This test screens cats for Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), both of which can impact their immune system.
- Parvovirus Test: A rapid test to detect parvovirus in dogs, a serious and potentially life-threatening condition.
- Pancreatitis Test: This test helps diagnose pancreatitis, a condition that can cause abdominal pain and digestive issues in pets.
Having these tests available in-house means we can get results and start treatment within minutes, so you don’t have to wait long for answers when your pet isn’t feeling well.
