LABORATORY Services

CBC and Chemical Profile Blood Machines can detect and quantify infection, anemia, liver/kidney/pancreas disease, thyroid disease, electrolyte levels and estimate dehydration status to help quickly and effectively diagnose your pet’s condition so proper treatment can be started.

Ultrasound machines can detect masses and soft tissues problems that X-rays can’t.

Radiology (X-Rays) are often necessary to evaluate for fractures, arthritis, hip dysplasia, abdominal foreign bodies, bladder stones, as well as other conditions.

Bacterial infections can be resistant to some antibiotics, so in some cases it is better to culture (grow) the bacteria in an incubator and test it against common antibiotics to determine which antibiotic is the best one to use. 

It is impossible for a veterinary clinic to be able to offer all the specialized tests that may be necessary to determine a specific problem or condition.
