A Message from Dr. Thompson!

News!!

People, people people!!!! Gather around!! Want to bring up a new diagnostic addition to Thompson Veterianary Services, & that is the addition of a new IN-HOUSE test by IDEXX LABS, for the detection of KIDNEY DISEASE, earlier, in dogs and cats. This IS VERY BENEFICIAL, especially in geriatric patients, patients on arthritis medications, patients who have been on long-term prednisone or prednisolone for allergies, lasix therapy and other situations where the kidneys are potentially at risk. The test is the SDMA test. SDMA is a biomarker for kidney function, and along with another kidney enzyme, CREATININE can help detect kidney disease earlier. One of the cool things about SDMA, IT'S NOT INFLUENCED BY OTHER DISEASES!!! SO, if your fur babies have been drinking a lot, urinating a lot, maybe losing weight, maybe not eating like they used to, or having vomiting episodes, CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY to set up an appointment for us to take a blood sample. Kidney disease isn't easy to treat at times, & KNOWING EARLIER can help.


Thanks for following...Dr.T
