Laboratory & Diagnostics
We are equipped with sophisticated blood analysis machines that allow us to measure many laboratory values. As a complement to our regular laboratory services, our in-house diagnostic blood analyzers allow us to get blood work back on the same day. This is ideal for emergency and pre-surgical blood analysis.
Pet Glaucoma
A tonopen is an instrument that allows us to measure the pressure inside of the eye. Glaucoma is a painful disease that is characterized by increased eye pressure and often leads to blindness. Early detection is the key to preserving vision. Annual evaluations of breeds predisposed to glaucoma and patients with ocular medical conditions are recommended.
