X-ray facilities
X-rays are an important investigative tool for many surgical and medical conditions in animals. We have an up-to-date digital x-ray machine and floating x-ray table which allows us to take x-rays easily no matter what the size of your pet. By using a digital machine, we can send x-ray images to specialists and other vets easily without the need to transport old fashioned x-ray films, and the pictures are available faster.
Ultrasound Facilities
Ultrasounds are another important investigative tool for many surgical and medical conditions in animals. Their use ranges from the diagnosis of pregnancy in bitches, to the investigation of heart disease in dogs, cats and rabbits – with many others in between.
Microscope
We also have a microscope which plays a critical part in dermatological and many other examinations, along with other smaller more specialised pieces of equipment which allow us to perform urine tests etc on site. For some, more specialised, tests it may be necessary to send samples to a dedicated animal laboratory
In house blood testing facilities
We have a laboratory area giving us the ability to perform blood tests on site – results can be available in as little as 15 minutes. This can be invaluable both during routine procedures, and if your pet should be taken ill.
