An in-house veterinary laboratory is crucial for the rapid need to diagnose conditions in your pet as opposed to sending out the materials for analysis.
Dr. Hendrickson uses a veterinary microscope and an incubator in order to process samples (blood, tissue, urine, fecal, etc.). This helps to detect the possible existence of veterinary parasites that may be found in your pet.
A CBC Analyzer can extend the process of your pet’s blood cell analysis by looking for problems such as feline leukemia and canine anemia.
Acute and chronic conditions involving veterinary blood chemistry can also be checked with different veterinary apparatus that looks at your pet’s kidney and liver functions. It can also be used to monitor protein levels in the blood as well as calcium levels in the blood.
Another veterinary machine performs blood gas analysis and determines electrolytes. Blood pH analysis as well as acid base analysis can be done using this particular veterinary device.
The supplemental procedure of staining blood films is also possible in our lab.
