Laboratory services
Blood tests We can run a wide variety of in-house blood tests with accurate results in 15 minutes. This enables the vet to reach a correct diagnosis quickly and plan the appropriate treatment for your pet. A small number of tests will need to be sent to an external laboratory with results in 2-5 days.
Urinalysis We can perform tests on urine in-house, giving us an insight into the health of your animal’s kidneys, test for diabetes, and assess urine infections rapidly allowing for further tests to be performed immediately if we have any concerns. This ensures your pet gets the appropriate treatment as soon as possible.
Cytology We can perform a lot of cytology (the study of cells) tests in-house. Samples may be taken with tape from the skin or sometimes with a fine needle. This gives us an opportunity to make a diagnosis on benign problems, avoiding unnecessary surgery.
