IDEXX In-House Laboratory
Our advanced IDEXX laboratory equipment allows us to perform rapid blood and urine testing right here in the clinic, including:
- ProCyte – Haematology (complete blood counts)
- Catalyst – Biochemistry (organ function, electrolytes, and more)
- Urine Analyser & SediVue – urinalysis and sediment examination
These tools enable us to detect common conditions and health markers immediately, avoiding delays associated with sending samples to external labs. The SediVue, in particular, allows us to identify urinary tract infections on the spot, eliminating the wait time that previously delayed treatment.
Our machines are continuously updated, allowing us to expand our diagnostic capabilities over time. Additionally, the integrated software connects directly to IDEXX’s reference laboratory in Hamilton, enabling same-day consultations with in-house pathologists and Small Animal Internal Medicine Specialists when further expertise is required.
Digital X-ray & Dental X-ray
Our digital radiography systems provide high-resolution images that can be adjusted and enhanced for greater diagnostic accuracy. Benefits include:
- Instant image processing – Results within seconds
- Reduced environmental impact – No chemical processing
- Shorter sedation times – Faster diagnosis means less time under anaesthesia
For more complex cases, we can request a specialist interpretation from a Veterinary Radiologist. These consultations are submitted digitally, and we often receive detailed reports within 24 hours.
Ultrasound & Echocardiography
We also offer in-house abdominal ultrasound and echocardiograms through a highly experienced mobile veterinary sonographer. This allows for advanced imaging and heart assessments without needing to refer your pet elsewhere.
