Imaging
We have invested heavily in our imaging suite. We have the very latest dedicated X-ray machine and digital processor, which lets us get the highest quality images quickly. X-rays are particularly helpful for assessing trauma patients, chest and orthopaedic problems.
We also have a high end colour doppler ultrasound unit. Ultrasound is particularly helpful at assessing heart and abdominal problems and diagnosing pregnancy.
Video-endoscopy allows us to use a camera to see into difficult to reach spaces, commonly the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine or nasal cavity. Samples can be obtained and foreign objects removed, all in a minimally invasive way. Images are stored on your pet’s clinical records to help monitor disease.
Laboratory
Vital in the aid of rapid diagnosis. In the laboratory, blood and urine samples are processed. For critically ill animals we use an in-house blood analyser which gives us results in minutes.
The most used piece of equipment is the humble microscope. As a practice we have an active interest in cytology, the study of cells, which is very helpful in diagnosing the nature of lumps and bumps. We see a lot of ear and skin disease, and virtually all of these cases are treated on the basis of what we see under the microscope. Knowing what we are dealing with means we can treat things properly.
