When needed, we can administer blood products, such as whole blood, fresh frozen plasma, and packed red blood cells to your pet. To ensure compatibility between donors and recipients and to reduce reactions, we perform blood typing and cross matching on any pet requiring a transfusion.

During your pet’s diagnosis blood may be obtained by one of our vets or qualified technicians to be analyzed in our in-house lab. The lab is equipped with a biochemistry machine, electrolyte machine, hematology machine and centrifuge which can carry out an array of tests. Blood biochemistry can be analyzed to check for many diseases including liver disease, kidney disease and diabetes mellitus. Blood hematology also analyses the different blood cells and the amount present within the sample giving indications of infection, anemia and dehydration.

Our dedicated hospital offers a team of highly skilled veterinarians that are trained in both emergency care and surgery. They combine their knowledge and skills to create a comprehensive plan for your pet, a plan that follows the most effective route from diagnosis to treatment. In cases of advanced illness or injury your pet will benefit from direct access to our qualified staff, each experienced in their own field. Your pet will receive expert investigation and treatment for a vast number of conditions, without having to transfer to another location.
