Laboratory Services
The Winnetka Animal Hospital is a modern facility that has the equipment and expertise to provide a greater variety of services. Like human medicine, veterinary medicine also relies on advanced equipment, specialists and laboratory results.
Our animal hospital features an in-house laboratory capable of blood sample analysis, urine and fecal examinations and various other tests. This gives our veterinarians the ability to collect a sample and get results in minutes instead of days.
These services provide pet owners with the option of sophisticated diagnostics and treatments for complex medical conditions involving the heart, lungs, liver, pancreas, spleen, gastrointestinal tract, endocrine system, nervous system and immune system. Our veterinarians are particularly proficient at cytology and mass aspiration analysis. This gives us real-time results. There are certain tests like biopsies and other specialty tests that require an outside lab evaluation by a veterinary pathologist. Our doctors will determine which laboratory tests are necessary for your pet, and thoroughly explain their findings, in order to determine the next steps in your pet's complete care.
