It is the preference of the Laboratory to work through local veterinarians since they can evaluate on-site client-producer animal health problems and identify those problems requiring laboratory assistance. Materials should be submitted to WADDL by or at the direction of the practitioner. Results of examinations, tests, and analyses will be returned to the practitioner for consideration in formulating a final diagnosis and recommending a science-based course of action for treatment and control of the animal health problems identified by laboratory testing. The laboratory can only serve as an aid to the diagnosis and should not be used as a substitute for good clinical examinations and evaluation by a licensed veterinarian.
