cat laboratory services chicago

Laboratory Services

At your veterinarian’s request, we collect and submit a variety of laboratory samples to assist with diagnosis and treatment. In some cases, we perform ultrasound-guided fine needle aspirates and cytology, targeting specific organs to gather cells for detailed analysis, which can help achieve a more accurate diagnosis. We use the Vetscan Imagyst to submit tissue samples, allowing us to obtain vital results within hours instead of days.

Pricing of laboratory services is available upon request as there are so many available we can’t include them all on our website!
