Comment se déroule un prélèvement sanguin pour mon animal ?

Sampling is usually done at the level of a vein (often the jugular or a vein of the leg). The area is previously disinfected and sometimes mowed if necessary. Restraint is adapted to minimize stress. The whole process takes only a few minutes and is well tolerated by most animals. If necessary, for example if your animal is too afraid to take blood, we will propose a sedation of a few minutes.

Laboratory and analysis

Q: Combien de temps faut-il pour obtenir les résultats ?

The results of the analyses performed in our internal laboratory are often available on the same day, sometimes in less than an hour for emergencies. For tests sent to an external laboratory, the delay is usually 12 to 48 hours, but may be longer for very specific tests (a few days). We will keep you informed as soon as reception.

Our veterinary clinic uses the most advanced medical imaging technologies to offer accurate and fast diagnosis to your pet. We can accurately visualize the internal structures of your animal to effectively detect and treat various pathologies.

We make every effort to ensure that the blood samples (blood, puncture...) are the least stressful and as fast as possible. Most animals tolerate these actions very well. A slight discomfort may be felt, comparable to a blood test in humans, but it is of very short duration.

Our procedures meet the highest quality and safety standards, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of each result.
