2. Immediate Treatment: Prompt diagnosis is crucial in veterinary medicine, and in-house blood testing allows us to start treatment promptly. Whether it’s identifying an infection, monitoring organ function, or evaluating blood cell counts, timely results enable us to provide immediate care for your cat.
3. Comprehensive Testing: Our in-house laboratory offers a wide range of blood tests to evaluate your cat’s health. This includes complete blood counts (CBC), blood chemistry panels, coagulation profiles, and more. These tests provide valuable insights into your cat’s overall health, organ function, and any underlying medical conditions.
4. Pre-Anesthetic Testing: Before undergoing surgical procedures or receiving anesthesia, it is essential to assess your cat’s overall health and identify any underlying conditions that may affect the anesthesia or surgical outcomes. With in-house blood testing, we can perform pre-anesthetic testing quickly and accurately, ensuring the safety of your cat during procedures.
Additional Diagnostic Procedures:
In addition to blood testing, we offer a variety of diagnostic procedures to further investigate your cat’s health. These may include:
1. Urinalysis: Analysis of your cat’s urine can provide insights into kidney function, detect urinary tract infections, identify crystals or stones, and screen for other metabolic disorders.
2. Fecal Examination: Evaluation of fecal samples helps identify parasites, such as worms or protozoa, that may be affecting your cat’s gastrointestinal health.
3. Cytology: By examining cells under a microscope, we can diagnose various conditions, such as skin infections, ear infections, and masses, to guide appropriate treatment plans.
4. Microbiology: Culturing samples from wounds, ears, or other affected areas helps identify specific bacteria or fungi responsible for infections, allowing targeted antibiotic therapy.
5. Imaging Services: Our clinic is equipped with advanced imaging technologies, including digital radiography, enabling us to visualize internal structures and identify abnormalities or injuries.
