We use a range of different anaesthetic drugs and design each pets’ anaesthetic protocol based on their age, health, breed, and the procedure they’re undergoing. Pre-Med sedation is given to keep your pet calm before they receive anaesthetic, while also providing pain relief. We insert an intravenous catheter that allows for quick administration of the initial anaesthetic drugs, painkillers, and other drugs or intravenous fluids and is also an important safety factor.
Once anaesthetised, a breathing tube is placed into your pets’ airway or trachea, and they are attached to a gas anaesthetic machine which delivers oxygen and anaesthetic agent. This is considered the safest and quickest to recover from. While asleep, your pet will be placed on monitoring equipment which measures heart rate, blood pressure, pulse oximetry (blood oxygen levels) and respiration. We do all this because we know it is the best standard of care.
Ultrasonography is a tool we use regularly. The best thing about it is that it is a non-invasive, non-painful, and safe test to gain information on many conditions. We use ultrasound to examine the heart and abdominal organs such as liver, kidneys, bladder, adrenal glands, and pancreas. We employ specialist ultrasonographers who come to the clinic to provide this service for your pets so that they do not need to be transferred.
Our clinic is fully equipped with state-of-the-art X-Ray facilities designed specifically for pets. Our equipment allows more detailed X-Rays to be taken and provides us with better diagnostic value. This also allows precise measurements to be taken which is often used in planning orthopaedic surgeries, to ensure the correct size implants are chosen. Digital X-Rays can be sent quickly and efficiently to other vets and specialists, so if a referral is required, we can send the X-Rays immediately, allowing the specialist to examine the X-Rays before they even see your pet. Vets often use X-Rays to diagnose bone and joint diseases, including fractures, congenital disabilities, bone tumours, and arthritis. We can also image thoracic and abdominal organs including the heart, lungs, liver, intestines, and bladder.
We are equipped with an on-site laboratory to allow quick and accurate blood testing. This means we can perform pre-anaesthetic blood testing on the day, to ensure it’s safe for your pet to be anaesthetised. We also use this for routine screening tests which allows us to detect various conditions early. When your pet is unwell, rapid blood test results are especially important to diagnose the problem and start treating the problem as soon as possible.
