In-House Laboratory

Our in-house laboratory, provided by IDEXX and Zoetis , allows us to run routine bloodwork in house to facilitate same day results on most bloodwork. Some common test we may run are: CBC (Complete Blood Count)/ Fibrinogen/ Chemistry Profile (kidney, muscle, and liver enzymes, as well as electrolytes and protein levels)/ Serum Amyloid A (SAA) Looking at these values helps us know how your horse's vital organs are functioning.

Ultrasound

We offer a variety of ultrasound services. Ultrasound is a non-invasive, pain-free method that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the inside of the body. Our portable ultrasound unit makes it easy for use at the hospital or on farm calls.

Endoscopy

Upper Airway Endoscopy (larynx, guttural pouch, and trachea) is a nonsurgical procedure used to examine your horses digestive track which looks for multiple things from Strangles to roaring, and Gastroscopy (diagnosing gastric ulcers) if your horse is showing signs of discomfort.

At Red Oak Animal Hospital, we offer many types of diagnostic testing. If you are looking for a specific type of diagnostic testing, please let us know. We also offer fecal exams, bloodwork, Cushings Disease (PPID) testing, EPM, and strangles titers are just a few of the tests we offer.
