Horse Pre-purchase Panel
Blood health checks plus EIA, glanders and a blood parasite smear, for a horse you are thinking of buying.
7 tests in one package · Sample: Serum + whole blood (EDTA)
The Horse Pre-purchase Panel combines a general blood check with disease screening for a horse you are thinking of buying. It looks at blood cells, liver, kidneys and muscle enzyme, and adds EIA, glanders and a blood parasite smear. Blood tests do not replace the vet's physical examination, and they cannot promise that a horse will stay healthy. A vet should take the samples. A registered veterinarian reads the results together with the animal's signs and history.

A horse buyer usually asks for a blood count, liver and kidney tests, and the EIA and glanders tests alongside the vet's examination. These can show hidden problems, but not soundness or temperament.
