The Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory, TVMDL, has compiled eight syndrome specific diagnostic plans to assist clients in efficient diagnostic testing strategies based on clinical signs or gross necropsy findings. The clients have the ability to select the tests within the diagnostic plans that fit with the diagnostic goals and pre-test clinical suspicion of each case. Simply select the syndrome most appropriate for the case and then indicate which tests are desired on the submission form.
