Using advanced haematology and biochemistry analysers, we can assess your pet&#8217;s condition within minutes, allowing us to begin appropriate treatment as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Haematology evaluates the cells within the blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. This information helps identify conditions such as anaemia, infection, inflammation, immune disorders, blood clotting abnormalities and certain cancers. It is also an essential tool for monitoring ongoing illnesses and assessing your pet&#8217;s response to treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Biochemistry testing measures the levels of enzymes, proteins, electrolytes, glucose and other substances in the bloodstream. These results provide valuable insight into the function of vital organs such as the liver, kidneys and pancreas. IT aids in detecting diabetes, dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and metabolic disorders. Biochemical testing is commonly recommended for pets that are unwell, for senior or geriatric wellness screenings, for pre-anaesthetic evaluations, and for monitoring chronic conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The greatest advantage of in-house testing is speed. Rather than waiting one or more days for results from an external laboratory, our veterinary team can often review findings within the hour. This enables faster diagnosis, earlier treatment and more timely discussions about your pet&#8217;s care. Prompt results are particularly valuable in emergency situations where every minute counts.<\/p>\n<p>In-house blood analysis also improves continuity of care. Our veterinarians can combine blood test results with your pet&#8217;s physical examination and medical history to make well-informed clinical decisions on the same day. If further specialised testing is required, we can still send samples to an external laboratory while already having critical baseline information available.<\/p>\n<p>By investing in modern haematology and biochemistry technology, Coastal Pet Vet is committed to providing efficient, high-quality veterinary care. Rapid, reliable blood testing supports earlier diagnosis, personalised treatment plans and better health outcomes, helping your pet receive the right care at the right time.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space]<div id=\"ultimate-heading-94776a7c79fe721ce\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-94776a7c79fe721ce uvc-2324 \" data-hspacer=\"no_spacer\"  data-halign=\"center\" style=\"text-align:center\"><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer no_spacer\" style=\"top\"><\/div><div class=\"uvc-main-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-94776a7c79fe721ce h2'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"desktop:24px;\",\"line-height\":\"desktop:28px;\"}' ><h2 style=\"--font-weight:theme;color:#000000;\">Like to book an appointment for your pet?<\/h2><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-6a7c79fe72238\" data-id=\"6a7c79fe72238\" data-height=\"25\" data-height-mobile=\"25\" data-height-tab=\"25\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"25\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"25\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[vc_btn title=&#8221;BOOK AN APPOINTMENT&#8221; color=&#8221;primary&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;] Haematology and Biochemistry At Coastal Pet Vet, our in-house blood analysis service provides fast, accurate diagnostic information that helps us make informed decisions about your pet&#8217;s health without unnecessary delays.
