In-Clinic Diagnostics
When pets are sick and not feeling well, it is important to gather as much information about their health condition as quickly as possible so that we can start treatment right away. Saucier Veterinary Hospital maintains an in-clinic diagnostic laboratory equipped with the latest technology that allows us to get results quickly and accurately.
Our hospital features an extensive in-house laboratory capable of performing CBCs, chemistry panels, urinalysis, cytology, thyroid testing, blood glucose monitoring, digital imagery, laser therapy, ultrasound, reproductive testing, and emergency diagnostics. We can run in-house blood work for sick patients and process the results within 20-30 minutes. This quick turnaround time means that we can provide a diagnosis and treatment right away for critical cases or patients with injuries.
Physical examinations alone do not provide a complete picture of an animal’s health condition. For this reason, as well as the fact that animals are very good at hiding signs of illness, we recommend annual checkups and bloodwork. Recognizing the early onset of disease and catching it in its early stages gives your pet the best chance of recovery.
We want to keep your pets healthy and happy from their puppy and kitten stage to their senior years.
