Our veterinary pathology specialists have access to hematology analyzers which perform complete blood counts (CBC). A CBC is a blood test used to measure and evaluate cells that circulate in the blood. The test includes an actual counting of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets and a blood smear is viewed under the microscope. A CBC is indicated in any ill animal and it is also performed prior to anesthesia or surgery to evaluate general health. A CBC is a useful screening test for underlying infection, anemia and illness in pets.
Our patients can't tell us where it hurts. We bring together the advanced imaging capabilities of our MRI and CT scanners, digital radiography, and ultrasound with the skills of a full-time, board-certified radiologist to generate the precise diagnostics that lead to superior treatment.
