All skin biopsy submissions should be accompanied by a Dermatohistopathology Submission Form.

Prices

Deep lesion: $233.00
Superficial lesion: $213.00

Testing may qualify for N.Y. State contract case subsidy.

Notes

Deep lesion samples: Ship chilled and protect fixed tissue from freezing.

Superficial lesion samples: Ship at room temperature and protect from temperature extremes. Protect slides from formalin exposure.

If case is chronic, virus isolation can be omitted if desired. If not previously performed a large animal chemistry panel may be warranted and serum (separated) or heparinized plasma would need to be submitted.

Prices

$335.00
Chronic case with no virus isolation: $265.00

Testing may qualify for N.Y. State contract case subsidy.

Notes

Ship chilled except for blood culture bottles and slides which are shipped at room temperature.

See Blood Culture Technique for more information. To order blood culture bottles go to shipping services or call 607.253.3935.

It may be helpful to collect and bank a serum sample for possible acute and convalescent serology.

This diagnostic plan is designed to detect a broad spectrum of systemic bacterial, viral, and some blood parasite causes of acute fever of unknown origin, as well as certain inflammatory changes which may assist in determining the underlying problems. Viral causes of illness are best detected acutely and most are unlikely to be detected in a patient with a chronic fever of unknown origin. This plan is intended to be used as an adjunct to targeted, disease-specific testing appropriate to the species, clinical history and geographic location or conditions. See Small Animal Internal Medicine, 5th Edition, 2014, Nelson RW and Couto CG; Chapter 88: Fever of Unknown Origin, pages 1279-1282 for other ideas of testing.

Testing may qualify for N.Y. State contract case subsidy

Notes

Ship fresh tissue chilled and protect fixed tissue from freezing. Kit is available. See ruminant abortion kit for more complete instructions. If full necropsy desired, see necropsy testing.

May also want to consider adding Selenium to fetal liver especially if stillbirths and/or neonatal deaths are involved. Consider adding Cache Valley Fever SN to fetal heart blood if the first trimester of the pregnancy corresponds to a period of time in which there is mosquito activity in your geographic location

Prices

$1196.50 paired (1 selenium)

Testing may qualify for N.Y. State contract case subsidy.

Notes

Ship chilled.

When acute and convalescent samples are/will be collected, for most serology assays they should always be tested in parallel, and paired results interpreted. If acute samples are submitted alone please indicated if all tests should be performed. If second, convalescent samples are later submitted, tests on both samples will be run in parallel and fees for both samples will be charged. To avoid testing acute samples twice, hold and submit with convalescent samples. If convalescent samples will not be collected, or when infectious abortion is strongly suspected due to history, immediate testing of acute sample may be warranted.

If history indicates may also want toconsider Brucella ovis ELISA* which isperformed on serum

Prices

Testing may qualify for N.Y. State contract case subsidy.

Notes

Ship chilled, except for ParaPak® which should be kept at room temperature.

Johne's Culture, Non-Bovine on fresh feces may also be warranted. The lag time for culture is 12-16 weeks although positive samples may be shorter. In neonatal lambs, an Aerobic bacterial culture and a Rotavirus Latex Antigen Detection, Group A on feces should also be considered.

Testing may qualify for N.Y. State contract case subsidy.

Notes

Ship chilled and protect fixed tissue from freezing. Please indicate if rabies testing is pending.

See Tissues for Rabies Diagnosis for photos of brain samples needed for rabies testing.

May also want to consider Cerebrospinal Fluid Cytology which requires CSF in EDTA tube (LTT) and (2) air dried slides of CSF. Protect slides from formalin exposure.

If whole head is submitted a rabies brain extraction fee will be applied. Please submit completed NYS rabies specimen history form and write out clear instructions on what additional diagnostic tests should be performed.

Prices

$329.75 (ante mortem samples)
$349.25 (full set of necropsy samples)

Testing may qualify for N.Y. State contract case subsidy.

Notes

Testing for evidence of lungworms, Fecal Float may be warranted depending on season. Also selenium on an EDTA whole blood sample or liver (Selenium, tissue) and vitamin E on a serum sample (separated) may be appropriate in some situations. Limited serology testing is available but paired acute and convalescent serum samples for BRSV SN may be warranted in acute disease episodes.

Ante mortem: Ship chilled except for slides which should be kept at room temperature.

Necropsy: Ship fresh tissue and swab chilled and protect fixed tissue from freezing.

TTW fluid is a superior sample for detection of significant bacterial pathogens causing lower airway disease. Results of nasal or pharyngeal swab cultures must be interpreted with caution as many bacterial organisms may be present as normal commensals in the upper respiratory tract. See Transtracheal Wash Procedure for more information. It may be helpful to collect and bank a serum sample for possible acute and convalescent serology.

* Haemonchus ID is in investigational mode, but should be validated soon. This test is available currently if requested. There must be >100 Strongyle EPG to perform this test. This will incur an additional charge.
