Clinical Pathology
The Clinical Pathology Laboratory processes and analyzes lab
requests for blood, urine, fecal and cytology specimens from large
and small, domestic and exotic animals. Samples are submitted from
clinicians and researchers at WSU-VTH as well as veterinarians in
the states of Washington, Idaho, Oregon and Montana. Two
board-certified Veterinary Clinical Pathologists are available for
interpretation of sample results. After-hours emergency laboratory
services, for life and death situations are performed on a call
basis for patients of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital.
Transfusion
Program
Just like people, animals often need transfusions when they are
injured or sick. The volunteer canine and feline blood donor
program relies on the help of pets in the community to meet this
need. Volunteers donate blood every 2-3 months and these donations
are used in the WSU teaching hospital and surrounding areas to save
the lives of dogs and cats in need of transfusions. Give your pet
the chance to be a hero!"
