Pet necropsy microphotography isn’t actually a recognized term in veterinary medicine. Here’s a breakdown of the terms involved:
- Necropsy: This is the animal version of an autopsy, a detailed examination of a deceased pet to determine the cause of death.
- Microphotography: This is the process of taking photographs of very small objects using a microscope.
Therefore, it’s unlikely there’s a specific service offered for taking microscopic pictures of pet tissues during a necropsy.
Here are some possibilities:
- Cremation microphotography: This is a real service where cremated remains (ashes) are photographed under a microscope to create a unique memorial piece. This wouldn’t involve examining tissues for cause of death.
- Veterinary pathology photography: Veterinary pathologists might photograph organs during a necropsy for documentation purposes. These photos wouldn’t necessarily be microscopic but could be high-resolution close-ups.
If you’re interested in learning more about what happens during a pet necropsy, you can consult a veterinary pathologist or a general vet clinic.
LabForPets is a laboratory service for pets. They offer a variety of services including blood work, hormone testing, and genetic testing. The lab also offers consultations for pet owners with questions about their pet’s testing. Some of the important points are that the turnaround time for most tests is 2-3 business days.
