Mobile Diagnostics
Our mobile service providers have the ability to provide on-site assessments and obtain laboratory samples and or diagnostics that will guide both the owner and veterinarian to improved animal management. While some tests can be performed in the field, others that are more specialized or unique to the animals' well-being can be performed at our primary facility. Our mobile diagnostic resources allow us to not only perform diagnostic imaging and or hematology, serology, cytology, urinalysis, and parasite testing;but also provide results in less than 12-24hrs thus improving animal welfare.
Our diagnostic examinations help us form a complete picture of your animal's health. Results from these tests give Dr. T crucial information that she needs to monitor organ function and hydration levels, detect parasites, track the effectiveness of drug therapies, and discover infections and complicated diseases.
Our adaptive ability allow us to diagnose your animal's condition quickly and efficiently from the farm so we can start the required treatment that will get your animal feeling better as soon as possible. When necessary, we use Idexx Veterinary Reference Laboratories for specialized diagnostics and consultations.

What is the purpose of annual labwork?
Blood work for sick and injured animals helps your veterinarian diagnose and treat their condition. Screening tests can help you and animal or herd by:
-
Setting a baseline for your animal's normal values
-
Providing peace of mind that your animal or herd is healthy
-
Tracking changes in your herd health from year to year
-
Helping find underlying herd management or nutritional problems in early stages
-
Helping prevent veterinary emergencies caused by unknown underlying health conditions
What other test & documents should I consider with management of my animals?
-
Bangs
-
Bovine brucellosis is a contagious bacterial infection caused by Brucella abortus that causes abortions, stillbirths, and retained placentas in cattle. It is a serious zoonotic disease, meaning it can be transmitted from animals to humans (undulant fever). Prevention is key and ['Bangs'] vaccination may be recommended as well as testing.

Coggins
-
Equine Infectious Anemia, EIA, is a blood-borne viral disease of equids caused by the Equine Infectious Anemia Virus, a lentivirus in the Retroviridae family, making it a relative of HIV. Once an equid is infected, the virus integrates and persists for life due to its ability to evade immune clearance. Given the lifelong nature of EIA infection and the absence of a vaccine or cure, routine testing remains the most effective tool for identifying infection and prevent the spread of disease. Annual testing for EIA, commonly referred to as the Coggins test, has long been a standard component of equine health management.

CVI (Certificate of Veterinary Inspection)
-
A CVI is an official document issued by a USDA-accredited veterinarian, certifying that the animals listed have been inspected and are free from signs of infectious or communicable diseases. It ensures compliance with interstate, intrastate, or international movement regulations and may be required for events, sales, or transport of animals. The certificate includes details such as the animal’s species, breed, sex, age, official identification numbers, and health status, along with the consignor and consignee information and the intended use of the animals.
