RADIOLOGY
We offer a fully functional and fully automatic "Innovate Technology" radiology unit with fully automatic x- ray developer. Radiological procedures are an invaluable tool to any quality veterinary practice to immediately deal with emergency situations. e.g. a possible bone fracture, an abdominal foreign body or an animal with breathing difficulty.
LASER SURGERY
The laser is a high frequency beam of light that comes out of an instrument that looks like a pen. We use it like a scalpel blade. Soft tissue surgery is 75% less pain-full and is almost bloodless. All speys/neuters, dew claw removal and many other soft tissue surgeries are now done exclusively with laser .
When coupled with post op medication, the Co2 surgical laser can make surgery as pain free as possible. As well as a reduction in pain, swelling, and bleeding, there is a much lower chance of infection, and thus surgical recovery is very fast!
SURGERY
Our surgical suite is one of the most advanced surgical units in Eastern Victoria.
We offer a full range of surgical procedures on just about any pet. We offer the very best technology and the best care at an affordable price. We have advanced patient monitoring equipment that enables us to check the patients heartbeat, respiration, pulse, blood pressure, ECG, and body core temperature using just one machine while the animal is under general anaesthetic for any procedure.
We use a warm waterbed under the patient and warm air - 38C flowing over the animal during any surgical procedure to keep the patient warm. This helps to reduce recovery time after anaesthesia.
We proudly offering CO2 surgical laser technology for surgery on your pets. Our machine is one of the first to be used in Victoria on animals. Laser means no scalpel blade and no bleeding, there is also less pain as it seals the nerve ending, faster recovery, less swelling and less infection. Laser can be used in almost any surgical procedure. fractured bones .
