While a physical
exam and symptoms may
reveal a diagnosis,
frequently other tests
are required to fully
understand what may be
wrong, or to confirm a
diagnosis. A wide range
of blood, urine and
faecal tests are run in
our on site laboratory
which is equipped with
a state of the art
Idexx Biochemistry
Machine, microscope,
urine pH meter, blood
glucose meter,
refractometer,
centrifuge and faecal
analysis
equipment. We
also have several
individual blood
tests available
for diseases such
as Heartworm,
Parvo Virus, Cat
Aids, Feline
Leukaemia Virus,
Corona Virus and
Giardia. For more
advanced tests we
have a close
relationship with
specialist
veterinary
reference
laboratories.
Through their
network of
couriers we
receive excellent
service and
usually receive
same day, or next
day, results. An
exception to this
is biopsy
histopathology
which usually
takes 5-10 days
for
processing.
We also
have specialised ECG
equipment for
diagnosing certain
heart conditions.
