Blackburn Surgery

We have rebuilt the laboratory section in our Blackburn surgery

We have a new state of the art Hormone analyser  which enables us to measure the levels of various different hormones in the bloodstream with great accuracy and speed. In addition we can now do blood clotting checks pre-operatively and get the results accurately and speedily.

So that we can better care for very ill animals we also have acquired a critical care blood analyser which gives us results in a couple of minutes.

Laboratory Services

Modern veterinary medicine relies increasing on laboratory testing for diagnosis and monitoring of  many different  conditions. Our main Blackburn surgery has a fully equipped laboratory  were many tests can be performed accurately and quickly.
Some blood test we have performed by an external laboratory to which we send samples via motorcycle courier to ensure  a speedy service.

An automated cell counter enables us to count and measure  both red and white bood cell in a sample which gives vital diagnostic information.	We have an automatic blood chemistry analyser to measure many different compounds and enzymes in the blood.
