Laboratory
A highly advanced and well equipped laboratory is a key part of a quality veterinary clinic. This becomes even more important in emergencies, critical, and hospitalized patients as it is exceptionally important to be able to measure all necessary parameters at a moments notice in order to decide on a diagnosis and be able to provide the appropriate treatment for the given patient as fast as possible.
