In-House IDEXX Diagnostics at Kirrawee Vet Hospital

At Kirrawee Vet Hospital, we’re proud to offer a full suite of in-clinic IDEXX diagnostic equipment, enabling us to perform comprehensive blood testing and analysis on-site. This advanced technology allows us to provide fast, accurate results—often within the same visit—so that we can make informed decisions about your pet’s health without delay.

Immediate access to diagnostic information is crucial, especially when managing unwell or emergency patients, as it helps us assess organ function, detect infections, and monitor chronic or age-related conditions effectively.

We also encourage routine blood testing for healthy pets as part of their annual wellness checks. These tests establish a valuable baseline for what’s normal for your pet, helping us to identify even subtle changes early as they age—ensuring they receive the very best preventative care throughout their life.

In instances where additional analysis is needed or we’re unable to obtain results in-house, we send samples directly to the IDEXX reference laboratory, where they are reviewed by expert veterinary pathologists. IDEXX is also one of the two trusted laboratories we partner with for histopathology (tissue analysis), along with Vetnostics.

We are fortunate to have both companies providing direct sample collection from our clinic, which allows us to send a wide range of samples—including blood, urine, faeces, and tissue—promptly and efficiently. This streamlined process ensures we receive comprehensive, accurate results for our clients within just a few days, helping us provide the best possible care with minimal delay.

With both in-house diagnostics and strong partnerships with trusted external labs, Kirrawee Vet Hospital is committed to delivering thorough, timely, and personalised medical care for every patient.
