Laboratory Facilities
We have in-house analysis equipment which allows us to perform most routine blood and urine profiles within the hour. The Vet or Nurse will ring you with the results. For unusual profiles or pathology we use a commercial laboratory and courier service who are normally able to provide results in 24-48 hours. We do not ‘mark-up’ external laboratory fees – instead we charge the client the actual cost and an additional fee to cover sampling and interpretation of the results. We feel this is fairer and more transparent

Operating Theatre
Our operating theatre is equipped with the latest Patient Monitoring equipment which allows us to monitor ECG/blood oxygen levels/blood pressure and temperature while a patient is anaesthetised for surgery. We use modern anaesthetics to help provide smooth recoveries and to minimise risks. Anaesthetic regimes are tailored according to the animals age, medical condition etc. We advise pre-anaesthetic blood testing to all cats over 7 years old.

X-Ray and Ultrasound
We have digital X-ray processing and ultrasound facilities. X-rays are displayed on a laptop with high definition screen to allow clients to view the images taken. Ultrasound is useful for viewing such structures as the heart and liver and to assist in diagnosis of problems.

Hospital Facilities
We have 9 purpose built hospitalisation units. These vary in size and are adaptable to allow cats that are staying overnight or longer to have additional room compared to traditional veterinary kennels. Each unit is constructed of fibreglass for warmth compared to the usual stainless steel. The doors are glass for additional warmth and visibility and ease of cleaning. These also reduce cross infection through acting as a ‘sneeze barrier’. Where cats require intravenous infusions (drips) we use modern pumps which accurately control the rates of infusion – vital in cats to prevent the problems that can occur if given too much. We use a combination of ‘VetBeds’, absorption pads and litter trays to ensure patient comfort. In-patient care is provided by Carol and Jan our fully qualified and Royal College accredited nurses.
