• Post-treatment "from home" results provided to client & vet
• With post-treatment results, schedule recheck exam if necessary
  
  

How it works BEFORE vet visit

• Client calls to schedule in-clinic vet visit
• Front desk orders test kit for home delivery to client
• Client collects and mails sample to lab

Diagnostics Options "From Home": 

Routine Stool Test (Dogs; Cats)

• Fecal O&P: Semi-quantitative ova & parasite by double-centrifugal fecal floatation (zinc sulfate) and microscopy. Screens for roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, tapeworms, and coccidia. Microscopic images of these or other findings are included on results report.
• Giardia ELISA: Giardia cyst antigen by microassay well plate ELISA. Samples run in duplicate with positive and negative controls.
• Upgrade to fecal egg count (FEC): An FEC by mini-FLOTAC to determine eggs per gram (epg) should be added to any hookworm positive canine Fecal O&P in case of multi-drug (dewormer) resistance.
• Upgrade to microbe PCR: For pets with intermittent or persistent abnormal stools or digestive symptoms, add PCR for common intestinal pathogens (PCR panel differs between dogs and cats). 

Ear Infection Test (Dogs; Cats)

• Ear swab cytology: Screens for ear mites and mite eggs, yeast (Malassezia), bacteria (cocci, bacilli), skin cells (corneocytes, keratinocytes), white blood cells (neutrophils, lymphocytes), and red blood cells

Skin & Itch Test (Dogs Only)

• Skin swab cytology: Screens for skin mites and mite eggs, yeast (Malassezia), bacteria (cocci, bacilli), skin cells (corneocytes, keratinocytes, melanocytes), white blood cells (neutrophils, lymphocytes, mast cells), and red blood cells.
