In House Pathology
An in-house laboratory, plus access to an external reference laboratory, allows our veterinarians access to a wide range of pathology services.
HAEMATOLOGY (COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT)

ENDOCRINE DISEASE
Our in-house pathology testing gives us same day results which allows us to start & manage treatment more quickly & more effectively.
BLOOD GLUCOSE CHECKS
Our in-house system allows for regular and easy monitoring of Blood glucose levels in our diabetic patients. Results are instant and allows us to tailor treatment.
CYTOLOGY
Cytology allows us to investigate disease processes at a cellular level to choose an appropriate therapy. It is particularly beneficial in skin, ear and urinary issues.
URINALYSIS
Urinalysis is used to better assess urinary tract function in patients with kidney disease, urinary tract infections and snake bites just to name a few.
FAECAL FLOATATION
Faecal flotation is a common test used to diagnose intestinal worms or parasites. The test detects the eggs of mature parasites that live inside the body and pass their eggs to the outside by shedding them into an animals stool.
