Blood Analysis
Sanford Veterinary Clinic has the latest IDEXX laboratory equipment installed right here in our Geraldton veterinary hospital. This means that we can run blood results straight away, get a diagnosis in a short time frame allowing us to discuss appropriate treatment for your pet, with you quite quickly. You spend less time waiting and your pet's treatment can start sooner.
As part of your pet's pre surgery exam, you can now opt for same day pre-anaesthetic blood tests designed to minimise your pet's risk before undergoing a surgical procedure. Same day, real time blood testing results in decreased risk of serious complications during induction, anaesthesia and recovery.
Ask our Vets about doing pre-anaesthetic blood tests the next time your pet is to undergo a procedure, for older pets and those with medical conditions, it's highly recommended. Also we are finding that running routine bloods on otherwise healthy pets is uncovering medical conditions that are not presenting clinical signs and would remain undiagnosed in a physical exam until the condition was far more advanced and the health implications far more serious or the condition chronic. Blood testing allows us to find these conditions and apply early interventions leading to favourable outcomes. Love your pet and order a blood test today.
