Recommended Tests for Specific Situations
|
The best sample to submit for a disease workup is a LIVE AFFECTED ANIMAL with typical clinical signs, or a RECENTLY DEAD ANIMAL. Our price structure encourages this. ALWAYS submit an entire carcass if you think litigation will be involved, or when death was sudden/unexpected. If this is not possible: |
|
EQUINE NEUROLOGICAL SYNDROME: |
|
·
SERUM
·
CSF
· EDTA for EHV-1 PCR. |
|
BOVINE NEUROLOGICAL SYNDROME: |
|
· BRAIN/SPINAL CORD – don’t forget rabies. · SERUM |
|
BOVINE CHRONIC ILL THRIFT: |
|
·
EAR NOTCH
·
SERUM
·
FECES
|
|
BOVINE ABORTION: |
|
· TISSUES
·
DAM SERUM
·
ABOMASAL fluid
·
AQUEOUS humor or unfixed eyeball |
|
OVINE/CAPRINE ABORTION: |
|
· TISSUES
·
FETAL FLUID
·
DAM SERUM
·
ABOMASAL fluid |
|
EQUINE ABORTION: |
|
· TISSUES
·
DAM SERUM · CONSIDER SUBMITTING ENTIRE PLACENTA unfixed to examine for placental insufficiency |
|
DIARRHEA |
|
·
TISSUES
·
FECES |
|
EQUINE DIARRHEA: |
|
· As above for DIARRHEA any species
·
FECES or large/small bowel for Potomac horse fever PCR |
|
CUTANEOUS MASSES |
|
FORMALIN FIXED MASS. If you need a preliminary diagnosis to decide on how wide to resect margins, we strongly prefer receiving INCISIONAL or Tru-Cut biopsies, not cytology. It is easier to obtain good quality formalin-fixed biopsies than cytology preparations, the former are quicker to read, and only the former can be graded. |
Policy Information
1. The person requesting services will be the person billed and will receive all reports. There are no exceptions. It is the policy of the laboratory to protect the privacy of our clients of records.2. Fees for diagnostic tests performed for non-farm industry (e.g. pharmaceutical or vaccine companies) and for research grants are assessed an additional 20%. This added fee does not apply to other, cooperating agencies and diagnostic laboratories where mutually beneficial collaborations have been arranged.3. Maximum fee applies only for clinical, diagnostic cases from veterinarians and producers. This includes necropsy and appropriate laboratory tests, with the exception of toxicology tests, spinal cord removal, IHC, PCR and referred tests, on one animal. Simultaneous submission of animals from within a single livestock litter (e.g. pigs, multiple lambs, etc.) or up to 6 avians of similar breed, age, and clinical complaint are included in the maximum fee. Additional animals related to the same submission may be accepted for an additional $30 each at the discretion of the WSVL.4. Professional services rendered for forensic, insurance, and other legal claims will be charged at the rate of $150/hour in addition to other laboratory charges. These services include consultation, site visits, document preparation, and legal testimony.5. Services will not be offered to clients with accounts that are greater than 90 days past due.6. Income from fees supports almost 40% of this laboratory's budget and helps to cover case reporting, telephone charges, and return shipping of packaging material in addition to the service provided.7. Tissues for histopathology must be fixed to reduce autolysis.8. Fees may change in the interim as a result of drastic changes in prices for reagents and/or diagnostic kits.9. Accessions submitted to the WSVL, including carcasses, tissues and agents isolated from samples, become the property of the WSVL unless other arrangements are made in writing at the time of submission.10. Custom test development is available; please call for details.11. Laboratory results of accessions submitted to the WSVL are the joint property of the Laboratory and the person or institution that submitted and paid for the test. They will not be shared with third parties except in the following circumstances:12. The laboratory will, from time to time, release summary data of disease patterns and share them the Wyoming Department of Agriculture, Wyoming Department of Health, and clients through newsletters, press releases and annual report.13. Laboratory results are confidential EXCEPT WHEN:· Laboratory testing results in the recognition of a state- or federally-reportable disease.· It is in the interests of animal or human public health to do so. This will be decided on a case by case basis by the laboratory director or, in his/her absence, by the acting director or by the faculty member in whose laboratory section that test was run.· There is a legal requirement to do so.14. Some tests are not performed routinely by WSVL. Submissions requesting such tests will automatically be forwarded to an appropriate lab for processing. As a matter of policy, WSVL will |
