Bloodwork
Blood tests are essential to diagnosing what is ailing your pet, just as they are in human medicine. Blood tests can tell our veterinarians a myriad of things, from whether your pet is dehydrated, has anemia, or is suffering from cancer.
Benefits of In-House Diagnostics and Bloodwork
When your pet is sick, you don’t want to wait days to get the results of blood tests and start their treatment. Neither do you want to drive all around Rochester from the vet’s office to the lab and back. Our in-house diagnostic lab decreases the time and energy necessary to get your pet the necessary blood tests. Plus, you’ll get the results much quicker than if you use an outside lab. We also believe it’s easier for your pet to only deal with one technician and one visit than to have them visit two separate facilities.
Sometimes, tests need to be sent out if they require specialized equipment, for example. Results for these tests are back in a week to 10 days.
Having a sick pet can be a scary thing. After all, they are part of the family. Broadway Veterinary Hospital wants to ease some of your anxiety and quickly get your pet on the road to wellness. That’s why we’ve invested in an in-house diagnostic lab. Call us today at (507) 206-3313 to learn more about our in-house testing lab or to make an appointment for your pet.
