Every day veterinarians are drawing blood or taking samples to send out for diagnostic testing. Here at Genesee Valley Equine Clinic some of these tests are run in-house, while some need to be submitted to other laboratories. During this course we will discuss some of the more common tests run on a day-to-day basis, including complete blood counts, blood chemistries, cultures, cytologies, and our more common infectious disease blood tests including the Lyme Multiplex test. You will learn why we are performing these tests and how these test results affect our treatment decisions.
