Clinical pathology involves the laboratory testing of blood, body fluids or tissues in order to identify existing disease. Common laboratory tests include microscopy, blood chemistries, complete blood counts, blood clotting times, urinalysis, faecal tests, biopsy examination, cultures and infectious disease testing.

At nOah, we're animal people. But as dog owners ourselves, we have a special affinity for canine companions. When you bring your dog to our Northcote veterinary clinic, you can rest assured that every step of the process has been carefully designed to reduce the stress that your dog may have experienced at vets before.

Our brand new, purpose-built vet clinic in Melbourne has been designed with cats in mind. Considerable thought was put toward creating a cat-friendly clinic in Melbourne with facilities to reduce stresses encountered at the vet. As a result, we are proud to say we have incorporated a cat waiting area and cat-only hospital ward.

Leah joined nOah in 2018, having previously worked for several years as a primary school teacher. Although she loved working with her students, her passion for animals encouraged her to take a leap of faith and start a new career in the veterinary industry. Leah is currently studying her Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing through Box Hill Tafe and is enjoying every minute learning about the animals she cares so much about.

Our veterinary team at Northcote Animal Hospital (nOah) have a wealth of experience and knowledge when it comes to treating skin and ear diseases. The most common conditions we see are itchy skin, rashes, ear problems, skin lumps, nail problems, scooting (itchy bottom) and paw licking.

We diagnose the underlying cause of these problems and put them into specific categories - allergies, infections (bacterial, yeast, fungal), immune-mediated conditions, wounds, and cancer.Once diagnosed, we can then proceed with appropriate treatment options and implement long term strategies for control and prevention in the future.
