All veterinary consultations will be with a member of our experienced team. Please make an appointment before attending the practice. Whether your pet needs a simple health check and vaccination, you have a new puppy or kitten, or your pet is suffering with a complex or serious condition; we are here to help. We are happy to see most small animal species.
We have a very experienced team of veterinary nurses who are happy to advise and assist with all aspects of caring for your pet, for example, nutrition, parasite control, weight management and nail clipping. The nurses assist with wound management and bandaging, and long-term health issues such as diabetes and arthritis. They monitor the pet, support owners and work closely with the vets to offer the best possible service.
We offer routine neutering surgery as well as keyhole/laparoscopic bitch spays. All anaesthetics and surgery will be carried out by an experienced team and we maintain very high standards of monitoring and care throughout the surgical and important recovery period. All pain relief medication and routine post operative checks required by your pet are included within the cost of the procedure.
All general surgery can be undertaken including removal of masses and repair of wounds. All pain relief medication and routine post operative checks required by your pet are included within the cost of the procedure.
Tom Webster is an RCVS Recognised Advanced Practitioner in Small Animal Surgery and has been performing referral-level soft tissue and orthopaedic surgery for many years. Most surgical procedures are available here, including those usually only possible at specialist surgical referral centres. Please contact us via email, phone or pop into the practice if you would like to discuss any potential surgical procedures for your pet further.
We are very happy to take surgical referrals from other practices. If your pet requires a more complex surgery, that may not be available at your usual practice, your vet may suggest referral and will discuss the options available to you.
We have excellent veterinary traditional imaging equipment (X-ray and ultrasound) allowing high quality imaging of bones and soft tissues as well as being able to undertake cardiac ultrasound scans (echocardiography). Pregnancy scans can be carried out while you wait.
We now have a new 32 slice CT scanner. This can give us rapid 3D imaging of bone and soft tissues. It is particularly useful for complex areas of the body such as the skull, elbows and spine, where traditional radiography (X-ray) is often unhelpful.
To make the most of the scanner’s capabilities, we have also invested in a contrast injector pump (standard care with humans) and special software (iMAR) to reduce interference from metal objects such as plates and screws near to the area of interest.
We aim to get the best possible images at a reasonable price. The ability to obtain 3D imaging promptly ‘in-house’ is a great benefit to our patients. In most cases, the scan package will include the preparation of a detailed report by a veterinary imaging specialist, as well as a consultation with the vet looking after your pet so the results can be fully discussed.
We are happy to take CT referrals from other practices on an out-patient basis. Get in touch if you wish to discuss this.
We are well equipped with both rigid and flexible endoscopy. From grass seeds up a nose, to foreign bodies in the stomach - we should have it covered!
The in house laboratory allows rapid and full analysis of blood and urine. Our in house high quality microscope enables us to examine samples, such as fine needle aspirates from masses, blood smears and ear cytology.
For many reasons, home visits can be preferable for you or your pet. Please contact us to discuss your specific needs in more detail if required.
