In-House Laboratory Services

Microscopic evaluation of ear and skin infections help identify the types of organisms present, enabling rapid and targeted treatment.

OFA radiographs are also offered to aid in the evaluation and certification of your pet’s hip and elbow health.

For advanced cases, the hospital coordinates with specialists to provide complete diagnostic ultrasound in-hospital or via referral.
