Comprehensive Pathology Services for Small & Large Animals

At Moreton Bay Vets, we understand that timely and accurate diagnostic results are crucial to the health and well-being of your animals. That's why we offer a comprehensive pathology service for both small and large animals. With state-of-the-art in-house blood testing equipment, alongside access to advanced external laboratories, we ensure your pet or livestock receives the most efficient and precise care possible.

In-House Blood Machines for Rapid Results

We are proud to have advanced in-house blood machines that allow us to provide fast and accurate blood test results within 20 minutes. These machines are capable of running a wide range of diagnostic tests, including:

• Complete blood counts (CBC)
• Chemistry panels
• Electrolyte levels
• Liver and kidney function tests
• Progesterone tests
• Thyroid function tests
• Blood glucose levels
• Parasite screening

Benefits of Getting Results Within 20 Minutes

Having results available in as little as 20 minutes provides several significant advantages for both you and your animal:

• Faster Diagnosis & Treatment: Quick access to blood test results allows our veterinary team to diagnose conditions promptly, which means we can begin treatment sooner. This is especially important for conditions that require immediate attention, such as progesterone testing, infections, toxicities, or life-threatening illnesses.

• Immediate Action for Critical Cases: For critical cases, such as dehydration, organ failure, or shock, the ability to quickly evaluate the situation ensures that your animal receives the necessary interventions without delay.

• Reduced Stress for Your Animal: Instead of waiting hours or days for results, a quicker diagnosis reduces the overall stress for your animal, helping to avoid prolonged periods of uncertainty or unnecessary waiting.

• Efficient Care: With fast results, we can expedite follow-up treatments, decide on the best course of action, and adjust medications or therapies in real-time, ensuring the most effective care for your animal.

External Laboratory Pathology Services

While our in-house machines provide fast results for many common conditions, there are certain specialized tests and more complex procedures that may require sending samples to external laboratories. We work closely with top-tier pathology labs to offer a wide range of diagnostic services, including:

• Advanced imaging or histopathology: For biopsies or tissue samples that need more in-depth examination.
• Genetic testing and specialized disease screening
• Bacterial cultures, sensitivities, and advanced pathogen detection
• Hormonal assays and specialized blood tests
• Toxicology screenings

We ensure that these samples are handled promptly and professionally, with the added benefit of using laboratories with the highest standards of care and precision.
