Diagnostics

Diagnosing the problem will always be the key to success for the correct treatment of the pathology in question.

IDEXX Laboratory (In House & Reference Lab) World Leader in Veterinary Diagnostics

Immunological Diagnostics for Parasites (IDEXX)

In addition to searching for the parasite’s eggs or parasites themselves, our reference lab also detects antigens (surface particles) of these parasites which significantly increase the efficacy of detection. Some of these parasites include Giardia, Coccidia, Whipworms, Roundworms, Hookworms, Roundworms etc.

IDEXX CBC (Complete Blood Cellular Counting) Procyte Dx

It allows us to evaluate overall health and detect a wide range of disorders, including anemia, infections, decreased platelet count, etc.The first and only in-house hematology analyzer that combines three cutting-edge technologies:

• Laser Flow Cytometry.
• Optical Fluorescence.
• Laminar Flow Impedance.

For accurate results of 27 whole blood parameters in just two minutes. View comprehensive results, including five-parts white blood cell differential, reticulocyte hemoglobin, presence of band neutrophils and nucleated Red Blood Cells as well as body fluid analysis.

IDEXX Chemistry Analyzer (Catalyst Dx)

Another automatic machine which uses IDEXX “dry-slide technology” in order to ensure accurate results in less than 15 minutes. It offers a chemical analysis of the blood in order to help define the function of the organs.

IDEXX Sedivue Dx (Full Automated Urine Sediment Analysis by means of photos)

Automatic machine that delivers consistent, accurate results in approximately 3 minutes, from only 5 drops of fresh urine. Produce high-resolution, high-contrast digital images and classifies elements within urine sediment.

IDEXX Coagulation PT/PTT

Screen and detect clotting problems during a wellness examination or prior to surgery in order to avoid bleeding complications.

Idexx Vet-Lab Station

This computer station manages all analyzers from a single screen.

Cytology, In-house and IDEXX

Cytology (cellular examination under the microscope) is important to help diagnose tumors, infections, skin problems, etc.

Ocular and Blood Pressure

Measuring intraocular pressure is important in any pathology of the eye or hypertension In the same way, blood pressure is a parameter of vital importance.

Biopsy

Biopsy is the evaluation of a processed tissue by a pathologist. These tissues could be from a mass or an organ.

Bladder Stone Analysis

Bladders Stones are sent to Minnesota Urolith Center for analysis, identication, treatment and prevention protocols.

SOUND (High Definition) Digital Radiographs

Digital radiographs (x-rays) provide a 2-dimensional image of internal organs and musculoskeletal systems in order to help diagnose specific diseases.

SOUND (High Definition) Digital Dental Radiographs

Dental digital radiographs (x-rays) allow detection of pathology under the gum-line like tooth root abscess, bone loss and other clinical signs of periodontal disease.

Ultrasound Diagnostics

Ultrasound provides a 2-dimensional image of the internal structure or architecture of the organs. This provides additional information when compared to x-rays.

Electrocardiography

An electrocardiogram can be a critical tool in the diagnosis and management of heart disease. For us it is a standard procedure prior to anesthesia. ECGs are submitted through telemedicine to a cardiologist for evaluation.
