We also perform Cytological examinations, dermatophyte testing, Urinalysis, Packed cell volume tests, Faecal examination's.

The majority of samples we like to run in-house so we have a quick turn-around of results for our patient's, although some samples will have to be sent to an external laboratory for analysis as the test maybe be something not yet available for veterinary practices to include on a daily basis or it may be a specialized test that only an external laboratory can perform, either way our external laboratory collects all our samples overnight by a specialist courier and promises to have all the results E-mailed to us within 24hours.
