In House Laboratory

Picture
We provide in house blood testing and diagnostics through Idexx, which can be done at the time of the visit. We have state of the art equipment which can provide blood counts, serum chemistry analysis and many of the routine tests that are an important part of veterinary medicine.

The most common lab tests we run in house include:

  • Heartworm and tick-borne disease screening—Blood samples are used to check for the presence of the heartworm, lyme, ehrlichiosis, and anaplasmosis . Our veterinarians recommend yearly testing and year-round prevention.
  • Fecal screening—Stool samples are checked for the presence of intestinal parasites such as roundworm, hookworm, and whipworms.
  • Urinalysis—Urine samples can be used to check for several different things, including the health of kidneys, diabetes, and the presence of infection.
  • Complete Blood Count (CBC)- This blood test checks for anemia, dehydration, clotting ability, immune system issues, or signs of infection.
  • Chemistry Panel- These tests are used for measuring levels of electrolytes, glucose, calcium, enzymes, sodium, potassium and other substances produced by the internal organs to assess their function, such as the liver and kidneys.  
  • Thyroid function—The hormones produced by the thyroid gland can affect a pet’s metabolism and change his or her energy level and ability to maintain a proper weight.
  • Feline leukemia—Our vets recommend that all cats be tested for feline leukemia and vaccinated to protect them from this deadly virus.
  • Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV)—This highly contagious virus has no treatment but cats can be kept comfortable and symptoms minimized with early detection.
