Lab and Diagnostics
Answers quickly, care immediately.
Waiting for test results can be stressful for you and your pet. Our in-house diagnostic lab delivers most results within thirty minutes, so we can start treatment the same day.
We perform complete blood counts, chemistry panels, urinalysis, faecal parasite tests, and skin and ear cytology on-site. Specialised tests like hormonal assays and histopathology are sent to accredited reference labs for next-day results.
Our imaging suite offers digital X-rays and ultrasounds for bones, chest, abdomen, and soft tissue. Ultrasound helps with pregnancy checks, heart assessments, abdominal organs, and guided sampling of suspicious lumps.
Diagnostics also support wellness care. Pre-surgical blood work ensures safety under anaesthesia, and senior pet panels help detect kidney, liver, or thyroid issues early.
