Who all does EIC and CNM testing? I know the U of Minn does but who else? There has got to be more places that do it than them. I'm trying to get it done pretty quickly on two dogs but it seems the U of M takes a few weeks. Just wondering if their are other options. Thanks for any help.

The U of MN VDL runs the EIC test on M and Th, and usually our turnaround time is about a week. You can call the lab on M or Th afternoon if it is urgent.

My dog came in heat today and I wasn't expecting it until mid-summer. If I can get blood drawn & sent to you tomorrow, could I have the results by next Wednesday, the 4th?

That should be doable if you send a blood sample and overnight it. I don't recommend a cheek swab it you're in a time crunch.

Do y'all do the CNM test as well?
