Advanced In-House Pet Laboratory in Sand Springs, OK

When your pet is feeling unwell, you want clear answers and a path to recovery as quickly as possible. At McKinney Animal Hospital, our state-of-the-art in-house pet laboratory is a critical tool that allows us to provide the highest level of care.

The McKinney Animal Hospital Advantage: Rapid Results, Compassionate Care

The primary benefit of an in-house laboratory is speed. Having the ability to perform a wide range of diagnostic tests right here in our hospital means our experienced veterinarians can get crucial information about your pet’s health in minutes, not days.

This allows us to:
  • Begin Treatment Sooner: A faster diagnosis leads to faster treatment, which is the most compassionate approach when a pet is sick or in pain.
  • Provide Answers During Your Visit: In many cases, we can run tests and discuss the results with you during a single appointment, reducing stress and uncertainty.
  • Monitor Conditions More Effectively: On-site testing makes it easier to perform regular checks for pets with chronic conditions, allowing for precise adjustments to their treatment plans.

Our On-Site Laboratory Capabilities

Our in-house pet laboratory is equipped to perform a comprehensive array of tests, providing a complete picture of your pet’s internal health. This is a key part of our promise to exceed your expectations with thorough, high-quality care.

Our services include:
  • Comprehensive Blood Work: We perform Complete Blood Counts (CBCs) to screen for infection and anemia, as well as blood chemistry panels to evaluate the health of vital organs like the liver and kidneys. This is also a critical safety step before any anesthetic procedure.
  • Urinalysis: A simple urine test can help us detect urinary tract infections, diabetes, dehydration, and kidney problems.
  • Fecal Examinations: We can quickly screen for intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and giardia, which can cause significant discomfort and illness.
  • Cytology: By examining cells under a microscope, we can rapidly diagnose issues like ear infections, skin infections, or identify the nature of lumps and bumps.

A Trusted Part of the Sand Springs Community

McKinney Animal Hospital has been a proud member of the Sand Springs community since 1984. We are dedicated to the health of Green Country’s pets and are committed to giving back to our community by supporting local schools. Our investment in advanced technology like an in-house pet laboratory is another way we fulfill our promise to provide the families we serve with a level of care and service that exceeds expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly will I get my pet's lab results?
For most routine tests performed in our in-house laboratory, we can provide results during your appointment or on the same day. This allows us to have a meaningful discussion about the next steps in your pet’s care without delay.
Why does my healthy pet need blood work?
Wellness blood work during an annual exam is a cornerstone of proactive health care. It establishes a normal baseline for your pet and allows our veterinarians to detect potential health issues long before your pet shows any outward signs of illness.
What is the advantage of an in-house lab over sending samples to an external one?
The primary advantages are speed and seamless integration of care. Faster results mean we can start treatment sooner, and having the lab on-site ensures our veterinary team is directly overseeing the entire diagnostic process from sample collection to interpretation.
