   In House Laboratory:  Our in-house laboratory facilities provide for serum chemistry (kidney, liver, electrolytes, thyroid, blood sugar), hematology (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets), urinalysis, and parasite testing.

Video Otoscopy: We are equipped with a video otoscope which is a machine that allows us to treat complicated ear infections. The video otoscope can be used to retrieve foreign objects from a ear, thoroughly clean out the ear (with general anesthesia), and allow a pet's owner to see the diseased ear by taking a video or pictures of the procedure. The scope can be used for other procedures such as biopsies of the nasal sinus and laser surgery within the ear canal and sinuses.
