· Axing the fax—Just a reminder that as of the end of August, we will no longer be able to send or receive faxes. If you still receive laboratory results via fax, you will be contacted by your local laboratory staff to ensure you are able to receive results solely via email instead.
· Apologies to anyone who has experienced issues with our website this past month. Our website was moved to “the cloud” at the beginning of July to increase security, improve performance and enable better support and monitoring, but we have struck some unexpected glitches. We thank you for your patience while we get these issues resolved.
· Winter NSAID monitoring – A reminder that this winter, we have a special offer for monitoring renal and liver function in animals on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) therapy.
Monitoring organ function when patients are prescribed long term NSAID therapy is integral to the safe and effective use of NSAIDs for chronic pain management. In animals that are at a high risk of NSAID related adverse effects, regular monitoring at 1-2 monthly intervals is recommended. Frequent monitoring is also recommended in older animals and those with a progressive or unstable underlying disease condition.
Monitor your arthritic patient’s health status this winter (available until 31 October) with our NSAID panel (ALP, ALT, urea, creatinine):
Special offer – NSAID panel + free urine specific gravity only $22.66 (excl. GST)* which is a significant discount off our list price. Simply quote NSAID2020 on your submission form to participate.
We also have digital collateral available to support your clinic’s NSAID testing promotion. Ask us for social media post graphic and/or a customisable client flyer and we can send these to you free of charge for clinic use.
