Consulting Rooms and Pharmacy

Three consulting rooms ensure that appointments run to time and provide privacy at your consultation.
The well stocked pharmacy means that the very best of modern drugs are available for an immediate start to therapy and for collection of repeat prescriptions.

Laboratory

An extensive range of modern laboratory equipment allows blood testing for haematology, biochemistry and electrolytes to be processed in the practice.  Consequently an accurate and rapid diagnosis can be made which reduces anxious waiting by our clients and gives no delay in starting treatment. Pre-anaesthetic blood sampling allows screening to ensure safer anaesthesia and surgical recovery.
 

Other equipment allows analysis of skin, hair, faeces and urine samples. The practice also employs the services of various specialist laboratories when necessary.

 

Preparation Room And Theatre

A large double operating theatre makes certain your pet has no delays in receiving surgery if an emergency occurs. The anaesthetic machines, circuits and piped gases in this area ensures your pet receives the best and safest anaesthetic agents available.
With all pets, pre-anaesthetic blood screens will be offered which allow the selection of the most appropriate anaesthetic agent.
All our surgical patients receive the best available pain killers to aid in the most stressless and painless recovery possible.
A separate preparation area ensures maximum sterility is maintained throughout our theatre area. The equipment kept ready for use in this area includes an electrosurgery unit, an electrocardiogram (ECG), flexible and rigid endoscopes, a dental unit and tub table, an autoclave, fluid therapy transfusion equipment and a wide range of surgical accessories.

 

X-Ray Room And Dark Room

 

A separate area for radiography gives immediate access to this facility and same day results of your pet's radiographs.

Ultrasonography

Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging procedure that complements X-rays and allows our clinicians to better visualize internal organs in the chest and abdomen. This painless diagnostic technique is normally done without sedation of your pet.

In the past blood profiles, x-rays, dye studies, and exploratory surgery were the most common tools used in veterinary medicine to diagnose disease.

In human and veterinary medicine, ultrasound compliments x-ray evaluations as each diagnostic modality has it's own strengths and weaknesses. X-rays offer excellent evaluation of bone structures and air filled structures (lungs) that ultrasound cannot. In contrast, ultrasound is best at diagnosing abnormalities within organs (liver, spleen, kidney, heart) and evaluations of an organs function such as the heart by direct visualization of the heart while in motion. Once the abnormality is found it can be measured for later comparison.

Cattery And Kennels

The separate cattery and kennel areas are spacious, hygenic and comfortable. Two large walk-in kennels are available for our large patients and an outdoor run caters for exercise and toilet requirements during hospitalisation. These areas are constructed to ensure maximum privacy and quietness for our more anxious patients. In addition there is an isolation facility for animals suffering from infectious diseases.


Intensive Care Unit

Despite being a modern purpose built surgery, we continue to improve the facilities. We have recently equipped an extra storage space as a dedicated intensive care unit for our critically ill patients.

 

Pet Shop

This area is stocked with the many prescription only diets which are available for pets with specific conditions such as kidney and liver problems, diabetes and many other conditions where diet is possibly the only and best way of controlling the disease..
