A diagnosis of the health of an animal is obtained through a combination
of computerized data and human interpretation. Data relates to the
physical characteristics of the animal, and includes data obtained from a
physical inspection of the animal. A blood or other fluid sample is used
to obtain a computer generated laboratory analysis. This is reported
through an internet network to the clinical pathologist. The clinical
pathologist has the data relating to the physical characteristics, and
thereby makes a diagnosis of the animal health. A drop-down menu on a
computer screen provides supplemental reports to support the diagnosis.
This can be enhanced by further input from the pathologist through
keyboard entry into the computer to obtain an integrated computer report
having the laboratory analysis, supplemental report, and selectively an
enhanced report. The integrated report is electronically communicated to
a client.
