New in-house blood lab
🔬🧑🔬We are very excited to share with you our new IDEXX LAB that we now have fully installed at our clinic. Our vets and nurses have spent the last couple of weeks in training and are ready to go!🥽🔬
❤️What this means for you our clients and patients:
🐈Quick turnaround time for receiving results of blood tests. This is especially important in more severe illness where further treatment is required and decisions need to be made quickly depending on results.
🐕🦺The ability to run blood tests at the weekend when the lab is closed.
🐈The opportunity to carry out pre-anaesthetic bloods on your pet the morning of their surgical or dental procedure.This may find hidden health issues, ensure there are no increased risks from anaesthetic and optimise safety for your precious pets.
🐩Health check blood tests, especially as your pet gets older; or if they are on a certain medication.
🐈⬛Our Biochemistry Machine can detect any abnormalities in the liver, kidney, thyroid, electrolytes and protein, while red and white blood cell abnormalities can be detected with our Haematology Machine.😀
❤️We are thrilled to bring you this latest technology that will make getting test results to you easier and more efficient!❤️
