We have a state of the art wet chemistry laboratory machine. Wet chemistry is more accurate than the more common dry chemistry machines. We also run controls on our machinery often in order to ensure that our results are accurate. Having an in-house laboratory allows us to make a diagnosis quickly and make changes in treatments as often as we need to, without having to wait for blood to be sent out of town.
In the clinic we perform the following laboratory services:
- Blood profiles and chemistries
- Blood electrolytes
- Complete Blood counts and differentials on the white blood cells
- Blood smear assessments
- Urinalysis and urine sediment analysis, including an accurate pH reading on a meter
- Fecal floatation and smears looking for parasites
- Gram stains looking at type of bacteria and yeast
- Bacterial cultures and antibiotic sensitivity patterns
- Skin scraping analysis
- Cytology which is the science of looking at cells and diagnosing disease
