What is the test laboratory?
The test laboratory is where PDSA vets and nurses carry out various essential tests on blood, urine and skin to help diagnose the nature and extent of a pet's illness and to determine a suitable treatment.
How can I sponsor the test laboratory?
The test laboratorys in each of our pet hospitals cost £50,000 to build and fully equip.
If you are interested in donating the full amount, please get in touch with our pet hospital appeal team on 0800 0199 004 or use our online contact form.
Help us buy the equipment we need for our test laboratories
£100 could pay for a special item of laboratory equipment used to tell if a pet has a blood disorder
£800 Could pay for a centrifuge, a machine used when testing a pet’s blood
£900 Could pay for a microscope, an instrument used to look at a pet’s skin and blood cells
A donation of any amount will help us build our much needed new pet hospitals and build hope for all the pets who need us.
Leo
PDSA vets saved the life of Leo the Labrador after performing emergency surgery to remove three socks from his stomach!
Leo had already undergone surgery to remove a bone which had become lodged in his rectum. Then just a few months later he became unwell again, Senior Vet Ian could feel something in his abdomen so the team took him straight into theatre where they found the socks blocking his bowel.
Luckily, Leo's made a full recovery now and his owners have vowed to keep a closer eye on the greedy pooch!
