Laboratory
We offer a comprehensive lab on-site to deal with day to day diagnostic procedures.
Prior to anaesthetics, we will typically perform a routine health profile. For sick and injured patients more extensive blood work is undertaken. Fluid and cell samples are often assessed in house prior to being sent to a specialist pathology lab for their expert opinion.
Our in-house lab services include:
Haematology
Biochemistry
Electrolytes
Coagulation
Microscopy/cytology
Skin
Mast cell and other cutaneous tumours
Lymphoma
Body fluid samples
