To All Clients in Eastern Ontario,

We are pleased to inform you that the septic tank issue at the AHL Kemptville Laboratory has been resolved. The Kemptville laboratory is now open and has resumed regular sample submission services.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this temporary closure and restrictions may have caused and appreciate your patience, understanding, and cooperation during this time.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Kemptville Laboratory and Client Services

There are no pathologists on site today at Kemptville, and therefore no postmortems available today.  However, the Kemptville lab will remain open today for deliveries and any carcasses will be stored safely at appropriate temperatures (cooler or freezer) to preserve architecture.  Please call the lab if further instructions are required.  Small animal and poultry postmortems can still be performed during the septic blockage; however, larger animals such as calves and cows will have to be stored until further notice.  Submission of fresh and formalin-fixed tissues from on-farm postmortems m
