Clinical Pathology
A veterinary clinical pathologist is a veterinarian who studies diseases in animals, examines blood, tissue and fluid samples, and conducts laboratory tests that help to confirm or reveal a diagnosis of what may be wrong with your pet. With a timely, accurate diagnosis, the appropriate treatment can begin as soon as possible.
To ensure the most timely treatment possible, NorthStar VETS has a state-of-the-art pathology lab staffed by a board-certified veterinary clinical pathologist. As a result, we can provide on-site processing and staining of cytologies and blood smear reviews for instant diagnosis with same-day reporting on weekdays. In addition, area veterinary clinics can use our service for emergency/STAT samples.
So when you and your veterinarian need answers, NorthStar VETS can provide them - quickly and accurately.
