Vaccinations

We strongly recommend the vaccination of dogs, cats and rabbits against preventable disease.

Vaccinations are given at 8 and 10 weeks of age in puppies and 9 and 12 weeks of age in kittens. Rabbits may be vaccinated from 6 weeks of age. In order to maintain protective levels of immunity booster vaccinations are given at 12 monthly intervals in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
Dogs are vaccinated against Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza, Leptospirosis and Bordatella (Kennel Cough)
Cats are vaccinated against Cat Flu (Herpesvirus and Calicivirus), Feline Enteritis (Panleucopenia virus) Feline Leukaemia Virus and
Chlamydophila felis.
Rabbits are vaccinated against Myxomatosis and Viral Haemorrhagic Disease (VHD)




Microchips


Microchipping is an easy, cheap and convenient way to permanently identify your pet. In the unfortunate event of your pet going missing a chip can be the fastest way to reunite pet and owner. We always recommend that an identity tag is also worn on the collar (Its a legal requirement for dogs).





Hospitalisation

Whether it’s a short stay for an on-site blood test or a day stay for an operation or diagnostic testing, all inpatients are given the best of care. Should you pet require overnight hospitalisation, there is always a vet or nurse on site to take care of them.


Diagnostics

In many situations we will need some form of diagnostic testing to investigate, confirm or monitor a patients’ condition. We have the latest in-house diagnostic blood testing equipment from Idexx Laboratories, one of the world leaders in the field. We also have the Idexx team support from their Wetherby Labs for samples that must be sent away. Microscopy can be useful in skin disease investigation, especially for external parasites, and is very useful for diagnosing urinary crystals, a common problem, especially in cats. Our x-ray and ultrasound equipment allow us to ‘see’ inside patients, in some cases preventing the need for surgery. Endoscopy can allow us to see into patients, especially into lungs, up noses and down ears.





Operations

We perform many operations each week. All our vets attend regular courses to ensure they are always practice current best practice medicine. Each patient is continually monitored by a qualified veterinary nurse. We use modern anaesthetics and ensure each patient receives thorough pain relief not only during their stay, but also once they return home. All patients receive post-operative care instructions, and most will have 2 post-operative checks to ensure effective recovery.

 

Neutering

Neutering is the removal of an animals reproductive ability by surgical removal of the testicles (Males) or ovaries and uterus (Females). The process is also referred to as castration for males and as spaying for females.

Neutering, apart from preventing unwanted litters, can reduce or prevent a number of potentially serious health problems in later life. Also most pets will have more relaxed and stable behaviour and temperament after neutering, making pet ownership a more enjoyable experience.
