In House Laboratory

Effective and comprehensive veterinary medicine relies heavily on quick and accurate diagnostic procedures. Humanimals, Your Pet’s Doctor, has a well-equipped laboratory offering the ability to provide early cage-side diagnostic decision making.

Pathology

In house blood machines help us assess the function of the blood cells and internal organs, check electrolytes, calcium and phosphorous levels. We can run a complete blood work up on your pet using a small amount of blood. A complete blood work up includes:

  • CBC (Complete Blood Count)
  • Full chemistry & electrolyte panel

The microscope is used to look at cells from lumps to identify what type (e.g. cancerous, infectious, cystic), urine sediment to check for crystals and signs of infection, skin scraping to look for mites, yeast and bacteria.

Having these in house tools means we get quicker results and this allows us to start the necessary treatment sooner.
