Services
Dentistry
Our veterinary dentistry service provides comprehensive oral healthcare for pets, including routine check-ups, professional cleanings, and complex dental procedures. We use modern equipment to diagnose and treat dental issues while ensuring patient comfort. Our experienced team addresses conditions ranging from tooth decay to gum disease, helping maintain your pet's overall health through proper dental care.
Endoscopy
Endoscopic procedures allow minimally invasive examination and treatment of internal organs. We use flexible scopes to investigate gastrointestinal, respiratory, and urinary tract issues, enabling accurate diagnosis without major surgery. This technology also facilitates foreign object retrieval and biopsy collection, reducing recovery times for pets requiring these procedures.
Laboratory Tests
Our in-house laboratory provides rapid diagnostic capabilities for blood profiles, electrolyte levels, and cellular analysis. We perform complete blood counts, biochemistry panels, and urinalysis to support timely diagnosis and treatment. This immediate access to test results enables quicker decision-making for both routine health checks and emergency situations.
Surgery
We offer a full range of surgical services from routine procedures to complex operations. Our surgical suite features modern anaesthetic monitoring equipment and post-operative care facilities. The team performs soft tissue surgeries, orthopaedic procedures, and emergency interventions with a focus on patient safety and pain management throughout the recovery process.
X-ray and Ultrasound
Our diagnostic imaging service combines digital radiography and ultrasound technology for comprehensive internal examinations. The high-resolution x-ray system captures detailed images of bones and organs, while ultrasound provides real-time visualisation of soft tissues. These non-invasive tools aid in diagnosing injuries, monitoring pregnancies, and assessing organ function with minimal discomfort to patients.
