The following is state-of-the-art equipment used by Dr. Stannard and his staff at Adobe Pet Hospital:

IDEXX LaserCyte® Hematology Analyzer
The first in-house hematology analyzer to deliver a CBC with a true 5-part differential and absolute reticulocytes using laser-flow cytometry. This is the most accurate CBC instrumentation available today and represents “State-of-the-Art” technology.
 


IDEXX VetTest® Chemistry Analyzer
The VetTest Chemistry Analyzer allows us to provide a full range of blood analysis capabilities in our clinic (a selection of 21 different tests and analysis of multiple species). VetTest is fast and versatile—allowing us to run up to 12 chemistries at the same time
 

in less than six minutes. The result is a rapid and accurate diagnosis and treatment.

VetTest Advantages for you and your pet:

  • Rapid response to patient needs
  • Accurate test results  in six minutes
  • Species-specific

 


IDEXX VetLyte® Electrolyte Analyzer
Fast analysis makes the VetLyte® Electrolyte Analyzer ideal for emergencies, hydration therapy and general health checkups. The VetLyte® Electrolyte Analyzer can be linked to the VetTest® Chemistry Analyzer as part of the complete IDEXX VetLab® system, which includes the LaserCyte® or QBC® VetAutoread™ hematology analyzer, allowing
 

comprehensive results on one patient printout. This provides powerful information for you, timely solutions and treatment for your patients and a valued level of service for your customers.

IDEXX VetLyte® advantages:

  • Accurate electrolyte values (sodium, potassium and chloride levels) in less than one minute
  • Uses whole blood, serum or plasma for greater flexibility

Vet-Dop Animal Ultrasound Doppler Blood Pressure System
The Vet-Dop is designed to screen for hypertension, to check blood pressure in surgery, to monitor peripheral profusion in surgery. The non-invasive Doppler technique is the method of choice for measuring blood pressure in animals weighing less than 15 pounds, especially cats. Other methods, including monitors that use the
 
oscillometric technique, are not capable of detecting the smaller vessels with accurate results. The Vet-Dop also works well on larger breeds. The Vet-Dop is the Doppler of choice and preferred by experts in the field of veterinary blood pressure measurement.

Vmed PC-Vet Wireless lead II ECG Monitor
PC-Vet can be used in the exam room to screen for heart abnormalities that may cause problems before, during and after surgery. ECG screens often allow us to find defects that support follow on care. Dr. Larry Tilley, a cardiology consultant, states that no other diagnostic test, including ultrasound, can accurately determine the source of
 
various arrhythmias and conduction abnormalities as is done with ECG testing. For difficult cases, the ECG printout can be emailed directly to a cardiologist for quick interpretation to determine the necessary course of action.

Image-Vet 70Plus
In a study conducted at the University of California, Davis (AM J Vet Res 1998, 59, pgs. 686-691 and 692-695) where all dogs and cats presented for routine dental cleanings were radiographed, significant lesions requiring therapy were uncovered in a majority of the cases. Currently, less than 10% of veterinary practices use dental radiology.

As with our own mouths, dental radiographs are a key tool in accurately

 

diagnosing and treating potentially painful, disease causing problems in your pet’s mouth.

We are proud to offer this valuable service for our patients.
