Laboratory

Vetcare is home to a fully equipped laboratory. Tests are performed on site and results are ready within a few minutes making sure that our patients’ treatment is not delayed. That is really important in some cases, especially emergencies.

We offer a wide range of tests:

Complete Blood Count: HCT (hematocrit), HGB (hemoglobin), PLT (platelets), MCHC (mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration), WBC (white blood cell count), Monocytes, Lymphocytes, Granulocytes, Eosinophils.

Chemistry panel: GGT, ALB, ALT, ALP, BUN, CREA, GLU, TP, GLOB, CA, PHOS, TBIL, TCHO, LIP, FRU, Electrolytes (Na, K, Cl)

Serology: Leishmania, DIrofilaria (heartworm), Ehrlichia, Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV)

Stool analysis: Parvovirus, Giardia, Coronavirus

For specialized tests such as biopsies or hormonal testing we collaborate with external veterinary laboratories. In that case results take a few hours to a few days to come back.
