In-house Diagnostic Laboratory
Kindness Animal Hospital's in-house laboratory is equipped to perform most of the
common diagnostic tests. This means that when you bring your pet in because it is
not feeling well, we can perform blood work, fecals or urinalyses on the spot, make quick
diagnoses and immediately start your pet on the road to recovery. Some of the more
specialized blood tests will have to be sent to an outside laboratory and in most cases we
can have those results back within one to three working days.
The in-house laboratory is also important in that we can perform preanesthetic testing immediately before your
pet undergoes anesthesia. Preanesthetic testing
is an important consideration before your pet undergoes surgery.
In-house testing provides the most current profile of your pets blood chemistry values and
makes anesthesia safer.
