Additional Information
Please complete the Necropsy Submission Form with appropriate information and history.The necropsy fee covers one (1) adult animal OR one (1) foal. A comprehensive necropsy at the ADDL includes a gross and histologic examination and report. Parasitology, bacteriology, and limited PCR testing are performed as deemed appropriate by the pathologist for no additional charge. Separate charges apply for the following tests: toxicology, virus isolation, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, serology, IHC, additional PCR, sequencing/NGS, and tests available only at other labs.
The fee does not include accessioning fee ($10 additional charge).
If the equid exhibited neurological signs prior to death or suspicion for neurologic disease is present, the necropsy will be handled as a neurologic necropsy. The necropsy also includes testing for rabies and the Equine Neurologic PCR Panel (EHV1, WNV, EEE, EPM).
