In-House Lab
Our in-house laboratory allows us to perform many types of testing that can aid in the diagnosis and treatment of your pet. An important member of our team is our Laboratory and Pharmacy Technician, who is able to perform these diagnostic tests for our veterinarians while your pet is being treated on an outpatient or hospitalized basis. We are able to perform many tests as they are needed for your pet’s care, including:
- Blood tests
- Urine tests
- Skin scrapes
- Test for viruses (Parvovirus, Feline Leukemia Virus, and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus)
- Heartworm disease
- Fecal examinations (testing for the presence of hookworms, whipworms, tapeworms, and roundworms)
- Ear Cytology
- Mass Cytology
- Skin Cytology
- Complete blood counts
- Chemistries
- Pancreatitis testing
- Progesterone (pregnancy)
It is important to us that you understand what your pet’s laboratory test results mean. Our doctors take the time to go over your pet’s results with you, discuss any questions and concerns that you may have, and then together with you and your family, decide on the best course of treatment for your cherished pet.
