EXTERNAL LABORATORY DIAGNOSTICS

We use both Idexx & Antech laboratories for more complex testing. Some of these tests include the following:

• Specific disease blood panels
• Cytology 
• Histopathology 
• Fecal assessment for parasites including genetic PCR testing
• Disease titres
• Export titres (Rabies FAVN done through Kansas State University)
• Allergy panels
• Urinalysis & Culture
• Skin Cultures
