Medical Facilities

We offer a comprehensive range of medical and surgical facilities. Our equipment includes on-site pathology (IDEXX), isoflurane anaesthetic vaporisers (the standard of care in human hospitals), radiographic facilities including automatic developer, special fluid pumps to ensure accurate dosing of all intravenous fluids, and a range of monitoring equipment to monitor your pet’s blood oxygen levels, heart rate and respiratory rate while under anaesthetic.

All pets undergoing a surgical (or otherwise uncomfortable) procedure receive strong pain relief such as morphine or temgesic, both before and after surgery. Pets may also go home with a range of different pain relief medications depending upon individual requirements.

Any animal undergoing an anaesthetic will suffer a fall in body temperature, so all anaesthetised animals are placed on heating pads to help maintain their body temperature during and after the period of anaesthesia.
