When is earnings release? What is expected? Based on the response to my last set of questions the holders of this stock around here don't know all that much about the company.

To All, If you own IDXX stock for long, please pass this info. to your pet loving friends. Thursday April 16, 5:03 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. A Longer Healthier Life for Your Pet WESTBROOK, Maine, April 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Statistics show that pets age about 6-7 years for every year a person ages. We see our pets changing on the outside, but what we can't see is that over time their internal organs don't function as well. This eventually leads to illness, which can often be treated effectively if it is detected early. Fortunately, modern diagnostics help veterinarians detect illness early by enabling them to monitor changes in internal function. Many veterinarians do an annual health screen starting around 8 years of age for dogs and cats. This improves the chances of detecting problems early and treating successfully. Many veterinarians can do this testing at their clinic, providing results during your visit. They analyze a simple blood sample and get a wealth of information on your pet's overall health status. ''These test results give an inside picture of a dog or cat's condition. An abnormal result is a clue that may lead to an early diagnosis, which allows us to do more for that patient,'' said Dr. David Carlson of the Carlson Veterinary Hospital in Massachusetts. Doing some blood testing while a pet is young and healthy is also a good idea, since it shows what results are normal for that particular patient. This is valuable for comparison if the patient gets ill later in life. A good time to do such a health screen is before a spay, neuter or dental procedure, when it can be used as a pre-anesthetic screen. While blood testing is helpful during a pet's first several years, it becomes more important as the patient ages. Aging produces profound effects on vital organs, and blood testing is the best way to monitor these changes. Doing an annual blood test starting at eight years of age is a great way to monitor how the patient is coping with the aging process. This can help your pet live a longer, healthier life.
