Treatments
Your best friend needs to be vaccinated once a year. This is an ideal time for your veterinarian to give your pet a full check-up.
Desexing is responsible pet care. For the female dog it means no more male dogs jumping fences, unwanted puppies and no more seasons. For the male dog it can create a calmer, more serene pet who will have less aggressive tendencies. The same for your cat. Castration means less cat fights - less abscesses - less straying - less motor car accidents.
When pathology testing is required for your pets we can receive results by facsimile machine often in less than four hours. Due to the proximity of our Fullarton practice to the major diagnostic laboratory in South Australia urgent samples are delivered immediately by us to Veterinary Pathology Services (VPS) for rapid analysis.
We have a cryosurgical unit which allows us to remove certain tumors and lesions without the use of a scalpel, often under local anaesthesia as an outpatient. Cryosurgery is one of the best methods for removing sun cancers from cats noses.
At the time of vaccination your veterinarian may suggest that your pet needs teeth cleaned, polished and perhaps an extraction. Dental services provided are prophylaxis (thorough cleaning of all teeth), examination of teeth and gums post cleaning, polish and fluoride, therapeutic periodontal treatments, dental radiography, and dental extractions. We offer full comprehensive dental care using the latest electronic scaling equipment. Preferably of-course we will help you to use preventive dietary methods to maintain dental hygiene.
We offer up to date radiography facilities and the x-rays are developed on the premises. These services include skeletal and soft tissue studies as well as specialized contrast studies. All of our radiographs are evaluated in-house and may be sent to a specialist veterinary radiologist for review. This provides us with a timely and accurate diagnostic interpretation of each study. Our X-ray machine at the Fullarton practice is one of the more powerful machines in the state.
Ultrasound examinations are performed at the Fullarton
practice and provide a noninvasive diagnostic tool used
to evaluate internal organs and tissue structure. Ultrasonography
evaluates these through size, shape, location, internal
structure, and differences in density. In addition
to the urogenital and gastrointestinal organ systems,
the liver, spleen, numerous other organs, and the status
of a pregnancy can be safely evaluated. Ultrasound
guided biopsies can provide a precise and less invasive
means of obtaining deep tissue samples for histopathologic
evaluation.
We have ECG machines for monitoring electrical conduction in the heart. Cardiology entails many areas of diagnosis and treatment of heart problems. The cardiac services typically can include a physical exam, thoracic radiographs, an electrocardiogram (ECG), laboratory blood analysis, an ultrasound examination. This helps us evaluate and advise treatment options for these patients.
A microchip is the latest and most secure form of pet identification which uses a silicon chip device the size of a grain of rice. When read it emits a unique number which allows the owner to be identified. The system relies on a readily available database, which must be available 24 hours a day. We use the Central Animal Records whose data is also stored on the Australian Animal Register.
We offer on-site cat boarding. Clients may use either of the clinics for boarding.
