Advanced laboratory testing

Our in-house diagnostic laboratory allows us to run tests and get immediate results.  Blood tests are used to look for signs of infection, evaluate organ function, and detect effects of some toxins. Our efficient laboratory machines check blood cell counts, metabolic profiles, and clotting times and aid in the diagnosis of diseases and ailments including: feline leukemia, feline heartworm, feline immunodeficiency virus, canine heartworm, Lyme Disease, ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, feline hyperthyroidism, canine pancreatitis, canine Addison’s and Cushing’s Disease, as well as portosystemic liver shunts. We can also evaluate urine, fecal and other samples to look for infection, cancer and  evaluate organ function. In some cases it may be necessary to submit samples to outside labs for further diagnostics. These outside laboratories are able to perform a wider range of testing for more complicated cases.
