Laboratory
We are equipped with all the essential tools you may expect in a modern veterinary practice;
Microscopy to analyse urine samples for cells and crystals, skin scrapes for ectoparasites, joint fluids for bacteria.
Centrifuge to check red blood cell levels, and prepare samples for other tests.
In-house blood analyser to perform biochemistry analysis e.g. liver and kidney assessments.
These allow us to perform onsite analysis of a variety of samples, providing rapid results and allowing prompt and appropriate treatment regimes to be devised. The equipment also allows us to carry out a number of tests at any time of the day or night, when commercial labs may be closed, and so we are able to offer a truly 24 hours a day service to our clients.
Many other samples are sent to commercial laboratories for more specialised tests to help us diagnose and manage a range of conditions that wouldn’t have been possible only a short number of years ago.
