Fecal examinations for parasite eggs and cysts, identification of intact parasites, quantitative fecal egg counts and serology for heartworm and some tick borne infections are all done in our lab in the Matthew J. Ryan Veterinary Hospital.
Hours of operation: 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
