1. Blood Testing Services:
   • Complete Blood Count (CBC): Our CBC analysis provides valuable insights into your pet’s overall health by assessing red and white blood cell counts, hemoglobin levels, and platelet counts. This helps in diagnosing conditions such as anemia, infections, and clotting disorders.
   • Blood Chemistry Panel: Our comprehensive blood chemistry panel evaluates organ function by measuring levels of key enzymes, electrolytes, and metabolic byproducts. This aids in the early detection of kidney disease, liver dysfunction, and diabetes.
   • Infectious Disease Testing: We offer testing for common infectious diseases such as heartworm, feline leukemia virus (FeLV), and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), enabling prompt diagnosis and treatment.
2. Urinalysis:
   • Our laboratory conducts thorough urinalyses to assess kidney function, hydration status, and urinary tract health. This includes the examination of urine sediment, specific gravity measurement, and urine culture and sensitivity testing when necessary.
3. Imaging Services:
   • Digital Radiography: Our advanced digital X-ray system produces high-resolution images of your pet’s bones, joints, and internal organs, aiding in the diagnosis of fractures, tumors, and other conditions.
   • Ultrasonography: Ultrasound imaging allows for non-invasive visualization of soft tissues and organs, facilitating the diagnosis of abdominal masses, cardiac abnormalities, and pregnancy.
4. Pathology Services:
   • Histopathology: Our expert pathologists analyze biopsy samples under a microscope to identify abnormal cellular changes indicative of tumors, inflammation, or infection.
   • Cytology: Fine needle aspirates or fluid samples are examined to diagnose conditions such as skin lumps, masses, and fluid accumulations.
