Companion Animal Diagnostics
Accurate diagnosis is the first step to effective treatment. At Gorteen Acre Vets we offer a full range of in house and diagnostic services to identify health issues early, guide treatment and monitor recovery.
Carrying out further diagnostics allows our team to accurately diagnose your pet, and determine the treatment options available to you.

While many tests can be performed in house, some complex or specialised diagnostics require advanced testing at external laboratories. This includes specialised blood testing, advanced testing of tissue samples and toxicology or rare disease panels.
We can collect the required blood or tissue sample in our clinic and send that sample to the refferal laboratory.
