In-House Laboratory Services
In addition to our referral laboratory services, we also offer the following in-house testing:
- Fecal Analysis to monitor de-worming program efficacy
- Complete Blood Counts (CBC) to monitor anemia and infection
- Blood chemistries to analyze or monitor organ function
The in-house laboratory allows us to provide you with results more quickly. In the event of an acute illness or emergency, we can often begin treatment faster due to the shortened turnaround time. It also allows us to closely monitor horses when treating or diagnosing problems.
Routine screening can alert us to changes that may affect your horse's performance, before you have a chance to notice more obvious signs of a problem. For example, annual blood screening can help us detect anemia or possible organ concerns before performance is affected. For horses on long-term medications, such as Phenobarbital, Isoxsuprine or Phenylbutazone, routine screening helps us monitor the affects of these medications on individual organ systems.
If your horse is healthy, a baseline screen is beneficial to get an idea of your individual horse's “normal” results.
