We said we had some exciting news.....well here it is! We all know how worrying it is when our pets develop a lump. Traditionally, in order to know whether these lumps are cancerous or not then we have had to take samples with a needle and send them to a pathologist for a diagnosis. This gives excellent results but incurs a time delay which is always a worrying time for pet owners. At Toll Barn Vets we have invested in state of the art technology which allows us to use an extremely high powered scanning microscope to digitise these samples and send them to a pathologist rather than relying on traditional postal and reporting services. Why is this important? It vastly reduces the time delay in results meaning patients receive quicker diagnosis and treatment and owners have less time to worry. Depending on the type of lump sampled these results can be back in as little as 2 - 48 hours. The additional bonus - our commitment to offering the best care for our patients means we are able to offer this fantastic technology at a reduced cost compared to sending these samples to external laboratories :D To find out more give us a call on 01692 407126
