Digital X-Rays
The hospitals digital x-ray machine provides our veterinarians with the ability to help diagnose what is wrong with your pet. It is utilised for seeing things your pet might have inadvertently eaten, assessing broken bones, investigating heart disease or identifying chronic disease.
The digital processing means the x-rays are developed in a matter of seconds. As pets need to be sedated before they have their x-rays it means they have less time under anaesthesia This ensures that your pet’s x-rays can be performed quickly and efficiently, which lessens the time under general anaesthesia.
The advanced technology in the hospital digital x-ray machine produces quality images assisting the veterinarians in making accurate assessments.
The x-ray images can also be quickly forwarded on to radiology specialists around the world who can assist in the rare cases where unusual readings have been identified.
In House Blood Tests
The hospitals in-house blood laboratory processes bloods tests for dogs and cats both quickly and reliably. It helps the veterinarians determine the underlying health issue and work collaboratively to implement a successful medical intervention based on the results.
Our laboratory allows us to be a proactive and timely partner in your pets health care. Occasionally, the hospital needs to escalate a blood sample to an external laboratory. The turn around time can be a few days to a week. This depends on the type of test and the laboratory’s workload.
Endoscope
The hospitals endoscope is used to remove objects sitting in your pets stomach. Using a tiny video camera, with very bright lights at the end of a very narrow scope, the surgeon can grasp or snare items such as; underwear, socks, string, fish hooks, toys and bones.
If there is an object in the stomach and plus another further in the intestines then a different surgery will be recommended. This is because it is difficult or impossible to remove objects that have moved into the intestines with an endoscope.
Whilst no surgery is risk free, the endoscope reduces the recovery time for your pet, reduces scarring and is considered a less invasive surgical option.
Utrasound
The hospital recently invested in another state of the art ultrasound machine which delivers the latest technology, high quality images and suits patients of all sizes.
Our ultrasound examinations, also known as ultrasonography, is a non-invasive imaging technique that allows internal body structures to be seen by recording echoes or reflections of ultrasonic waves. Ultrasound waves are considered to be safe.
The emergency veterinarians can investigate vital organs such as the liver, kidneys, intestines, gall bladder, bladder, uterus, heart, and blood vessels. The types of things that can be diagnosed with ultrasound range from pregnancy to blockages of the intestine to bladder stones. It is also utlised for patients with heart disease so the thickness of the walls of the heart and the action of the heart valves can be better understood.
Separate Cat Area
The hospital has a separate waiting area for cats. It provides an environment with exposure to the smells and sounds of dogs. From there, families can access the secluded consultation room and cat ward. This is a quieter and calm section of the hospital.
If your cat needs to stay in hospital our cat beds do not face each other which is less confronting for your cat. This area is also separate and can be closed off from the dogs. This area also has minimal use of bright lights unless medically required.
During their stay, every effort is made to make your cat comfortable. The hospital uses Tuff mats which are a thick, non toxic, luxurious mattress base. Then we add blankets and towels on-top provide a warm and comfortable bed. Every effort is made so that your cats stay in hospital is as calming as possible.
