In-House CBC Machine:
Our Top-of-the-line machine runs your pet's Complete Blood Counts (CBC). This machine, called the ProCyte, uses cutting-edge technology to accurately determine the precise numbers and types of cells. For red blood cells, the machine tells us the total number, their size and hemoglobin concentration. For white blood cells (WBC), the ProCyte is able to differentiate between the five different types of WBC and give us total counts of each. The ProCyte also is able to determine platelet counts. In an emergency situation, having this information during your appointment is essential. For pre-anesthetic testing, this information is sometimes vitally important.

In-House Blood Chemistry:
Our blood chemistry analyzer, the Catalyst, is the latest in technology to hit the veterinary market. It can detect abnormalities involving your pet's kidneys, liver or pancreas; help diagnose diabetes and cushings disease; and evaluate electrolyte disturbances some of which can be fatal. Before OVVH had the Catalyst, we were unable to run electrolyte testing in house. With our new technology, doctors can determine treatment options faster and more efficiently.
