Services
Computed Tomography
Our 16-slice CT scanner provides three-dimensional internal imaging for accurate diagnosis of complex conditions. This non-invasive technology helps detect nasal disease, orthopaedic issues, and internal tumours while improving treatment outcomes through detailed visualisation. The service supports faster diagnosis compared to traditional methods.
Animal Critical Care
Our critical care unit features heated cages, oxygen chambers, and advanced monitoring equipment for treating severe cases. Veterinarians manage both primary emergencies and referred critical patients with blood transfusion capabilities and continuous vital sign tracking to improve survival rates.
Animal Rehabilitation
Dr Lindy Price provides rehabilitation services including laser therapy and mobility exercises for post-surgery recovery. This service addresses arthritis, hip dysplasia, and spinal conditions while extending quality of life through pain management techniques and stem cell therapy options.
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy enables minimally invasive joint diagnosis and treatment using specialised cameras and instruments. This technique reduces recovery time for conditions like elbow dysplasia and cruciate ligament injuries while providing clearer visualisation compared to traditional imaging methods.
Veterinary Behavioural Consultations
Our behavioural consultations address pet anxiety, aggression, and other behavioural issues through tailored modification programs. The service combines veterinary expertise with Delta-qualified dog training to improve owner-pet relationships and prevent escalation of behavioural problems.
