We cannot always reach a definitive diagnosis in the laboratory. We should however be able to rule out several specific causes of disease, thereby avoiding unnecessary treatments. In some cases, we may ask your veterinarian for additional specimens to enable us to make or confirm a diagnosis. When all tests are complete, a final report is sent by fax to your veterinarian. Printed copies of final reports are mailed to owners of food-producing animals if their complete address is given.
Results are confidential and are given only to the owner and their veterinarian.
