Our onsite laboratory is based at our North Tawton practice. We are able to run an extensive range of tests in-house to get quick, reliable results for your Equine.
In-house blood machine
We have a hematology and biochemistry machine which can analyse blood profiles within just 15 minutes. This machine can enable us to look further into problems such as weight loss, anemia, infections, liver/ kidney function and muscle damage. We recommend routine health profiles for older horses to check the function of vital organs and allow us to provide support for these organs as early as possible.
Faecal worm egg counts
FWEC (faecal worm egg counts) can be performed in-house with results back the same day. We always recommend having a FWEC done before worming your horse. We recommend you should worm your horse against tape worm once a year.
Urinalysis
Various urine tests can be performed in-house.
When buying a horse, we always advise that you have any potential purchases thoroughly evaluated by a vet. We offer pre-purchase examinations (vettings) to both existing and external clients, with simple packages and no hidden charges.
