The surgery has an operating theatre which is used for all our sterile procedures.
We also use up-to-date anaesthetics as well as premedicants which allow for a
smooth and safe anaesthetic with a quick recovery period.
Dentistry
Dental disease is one of the most common diseases seen in our pets. We
have a dental scaler which is used to remove the plaque and tartar that
accumulates on teeth. A polisher is then used to delay the recurrence of this
plaque buildup.
Radiography (X-rays)
Radiographs are extremely useful in the diagnosis of various conditions. They
can tell us what is happening to the bones in the body e.g.
the presence of
infections, fractures, tumors. They also give us information about internal
organs eg. Heart, lungs, liver, kidney, etc.
Electro-cardiography (ecg)
Whereas an X-ray will show us the shape of the heart, whether there are
enlargement, growths, etc, an e.c.g. will actually tell us about the various
components of the heart and how they are functioning in relation to each other.
It does this by measuring electrical impulses at various points across the heart.
It is a very non-invasive procedure and no sedation is acquired.
This can be arranged by the practice
In-house laboratory
We run many of the blood tests on the premises esp.
geriatric and pre-op checks. This gives us quick information and this is
backed up by the use of more specialist veterinary laboratories.
