We perform many pathology tests and procedures onsite to provide prompt and accurate diagnosis, ensuring immediate treatment of critically ill animals 24 hours a day.

Routine haematology, biochemistry, electrolyte analysis and blood gas, as well as coagulation profiles are done ‘in house’ with support from our referral clinical pathologist Dr Sue Beetson. Each year the clinic undertakes pathology training with Dr Beetson to improve our skills in diagnostics.

We partner with QML and DPI lab services who provide a comprehensive range of test procedures for small and large animals, with results emailed to clients for rapid turnaround times of critical information.
