| Description |
A necropsy is a postmortem examination of an animal to detect disease at a macroscopic level. Histologic (microscopic) evaluation is charged separately, is necessary in most cases to identify the cause of disease/death, and is performed at the discretion of the pathologist. The necropsy price is per animal. Additional charges apply for spinal cord removal, legal cases, and after-hours arrivals. Live animals are not accepted. Prepayment is required for all owner submissions. Turnaround Time Information: For necropsies, a gross report will typically be made available within two business days after the necropsy is performed. Histopathology reports are typically published within two weeks following the gross report. In some cases, final results may include additional testing that can take between 3-5 weeks depending on the complexity of the case and the type of testing performed. |
