Many minor procedures can be performed in the stress-free environment of your home. Therefore, pets are more relaxed and show normal behavior avoiding trauma and sometimes pain and illness when traveling to veterinary practice.
Blood sampling– Venipuncture
Blood tests can give us a wealth of information about the health of your pet. They provide an insight into the health of many organs, help detect disease. After the blood is drawn, we send the samples to the lab, and it usually takes one or two business days to get the results.
Blood pressure measurement by HDO
Taking blood pressure by HDO (high definition oscillometry) provides faster and more sensitive measurements. This procedure is essential for the treatment of different chronic diseases such as chronic kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, cardiovascular and cardiac diseases. Measurement results are more accurate when performed in the calmest environment. Therefore, there is no better place than your own home.
Cystocentesis
Urine collection can be very difficult in cats, especially if the urine needs to be collected without contamination.
Cystocentesis is routine veterinary procedure by which an uncontaminated urine sample is taken directly from the bladder with a needle.
This procedure is indicated at any time when urine needs to be evaluated using urine culture and sensitivity. The results can give an idea of hydration and kidney function, as well as indicate inflammation or urinary tract infections.
