The Lab
Our state of the art on-site lab allows our doctors to obtain a rapid diagnosis and initiate treatment as early as possible. This saves lives. With our lab, we can conduct the following types of tests:
- Complete blood chemistry (CBC)
- Blood chemistry panel
- Urinalysis
- SNAP testing for several infectious diseases
- Blood typing and cross-match
- Blood gas analysis
- Coagulation testing (for clotting disorders)
- Limited toxin analysis
Endoscopy
An endoscope is an instrument that consists of a camera and lighting system affixed to a flexible tube. Endoscopes can also be equipped with basic tools for foreign body removal and taking samples for biopsy. By visualizing the tissues, or obtaining biopsy samples for analysis, the internists are able to obtain a specific diagnosis and determine the best treatment for your pet. Procedures performed include:
- Upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy (foreign body removal and biopsies).
- Colonoscopy
- Bronchoscopy (trachea and bronchi)
- Rhinoscopy (nose and nasal cavity)
- Vaginoscopy (vaginal cavity)
