Laboratory Services and Facilities

Going where the eye cannot see :

By having our own on-site laboratory equipment we are able to access test results very quickly to aid us in the diagnosis and treatment of your pet. Our in house lab services include :

• Microscopy  -  skin scrapings and swabs for parasite and microbe analysis.
• Urinalysis     -  Urine testing for crystals and chemical analysis.
• Haematology - red and white blood cell counts and differential cell analysis.
• Blood biochemistry - liver, kidney , pancreas , muscle enzyme analysis.
• Skin scraping and cytology evaluations - advanced dermatology diagnosis.
• Fine needle aspirates - skin tumour evaluation.
• Parvovirus, feline leukaemia and Giardia testing.

Occasionally some conditions require the specialist services of external labs. We have established relationships with these referral labs.
