Laboratory

Comprehensive Reliable Tests

The 24-hour availability of comprehensive, reliable test results is a vital function of the continuous care provided at Rood & Riddle. To that end, our laboratory continually adds new tests and services to its laboratory roster to enable us to perform most lab work in-house. That roster includes hematology, blood gases, serology, serum chemistry, bacteriology, mycology, cytology, parasitology, endocrinology, and Coggins testing.

The Rood & Riddle Laboratory also provides laboratory services to veterinarians in Kentucky and the nation. Our lab provides prompt reliable results, with same day service for many tests (see individual test list for result time). For information on our services or mailing specimens, veterinarians may call (859) 233-0331. A .pdf of our Available Tests list and Submission Form is available below.

Stem Cell Laboratory
The Rood & Riddle Stem Cell Laboratory is the latest edition to the hospital’s medical services. Rood & Riddle collaborated with the Regenerative Medicine Laboratory at the University of California-Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital in the planning of this state of the art facility. The addition of the stem cell service is part of Rood & Riddle’s ongoing effort to provide the most up to date technologies and treatments for their patients.

Regenerative medicine focuses on harnessing the power of stem cells and the body’s own regenerative capabilities to restore function to damaged cells, tissues, and organs. Rood & Riddle’s stem cell laboratory offers stem cell processing for hospital patients and the patients of referring veterinarians, providing a safe, high quality stem cell product. Rood & Riddle is excited to join the leaders in equine regenerative cell medicine and contribute to the advancement of the science and knowledge of equine stem cell therapy through clinical research.
