Dental disease

programme.

Microchips -
permanent identification
|
| An electronic
chip the size of a grain of rice is implanted
between the shoulder blades without the need for
anaesthetic. Scanning reveals the unique chip
number which is on an Australia wide 24hr database
allowing return of your lost or stolen pet.

Pathology
|
| Blood &
urine tests are not only an aid to diagnosis of
illness but are used to assess internal organ
function prior to anaesthetic. Routine screening
on older pets can detect disease at an early stage
when treatment can be more successful.

and complex cases
|
| We are fully
equipped with gas anaesthetic, respiratory
monitors, intravenous fluid pumps, x-ray &
sterilization equipment. Routine surgery cases are
