In-House Laboratory
When your pet is sick, you want answers quickly. Our in-house laboratory includes a variety of analyzers designed to deliver a cage-side diagnosis. With our in-house laboratory, we can perform the following tests:
Complete Blood Count (CBC) |
---|
Part of wellness screening tests or used for sick pets, a CBC provides a quantitative analysis of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. A CBC can be used to detect anemia, infection, inflammation, and dehydration.
Blood Chemistry Profile |
---|
Often paired with a CBC, a blood chemistry profile analyzes organ function. This test can help diagnose kidney or liver disease, endocrine disorders, and a variety of other conditions.
Urinalysis |
---|
A urinalysis consists of a urine strip evaluation and a microscopic evaluation. By performing a complete urinalysis, we can evaluate your pet’s kidney function, diagnose urinary tract infections and inflammation, and detect subtle changes that can indicate a variety of disease conditions.
Fecal Exam |

Microscopically examining a stool sample can help us spot parasitic infections.
Cytology |
---|
A sample from your pet’s ears, skin, or a mass can be microscopically examined for signs of infection, inflammation, or more serious disease.
