For information, review the linked PDF document. Information for Veterinarians PDF document The Toxicology Laboratory of the Animal Health Diagnostic Center (AHDC) routinely offers toxicology
testing on samples. Whenever a food item is suspected to be related to
a suspect toxicosis, ample samples of the food should be retained for
possible further testing. At this time, we are not encouraging the
submission of additional samples for testing by veterinarians, as large
selection of samples are already available for a wide battery of tests.
For more information and testing fees and details, review the linked
PDF document.
