Among the many things we love about being in the veterinary profession is the variety and quality of medical and surgical assistance that we’re able to offer to our patients and clients.
Here are just a few of the awesome skills and services that we can offer, all within the one building!
Consultations
Many veterinary consultations involve routine annual health checks and vaccinations. We also commonly see animals who are unwell with skin or ear disease, stomach upsets, or chronic health conditions.
As well as performing GP-type consultations, vets also provide emergency care for injured or unwell pets.
Pharmacy
Our veterinarians are able to prescribe medications, which means that pets can start their treatment as quickly as possible, which is convenient for pet owners too!
Imaging
Whilst humans may need to visit a specialist location for their x-rays, veterinary patients that come to our clinic can usually undergo x-ray and ultrasound imaging on-site to facilitate a more rapid diagnosis of their condition.
Laboratory facilities
Most veterinary clinics offer an array of on-site diagnostics, including blood and urine testing capabilities, and the ability to analyse things like skin or ear smears, and fine needle biopsy samples under the microscope for an initial assessment of lumps. This can provide answers to worried pet owners faster – often on the same day!
Surgery and dentistry
As well as their other technical skills, veterinarians are experienced in routine soft tissue surgery and dentistry, with some having the ability to perform orthopaedic surgical procedures as well.
We are thrilled this year at Mira Mar Vets to have the services of Dr Paul Gendle, who is not only Dr Sara’s dad, but also a very experienced veterinarian with additional skills in orthopaedic and other complex surgeries. It is wonderful to be able to offer this improved service to our clients and their pets.
This holistic approach to patient care usually means faster diagnostics, assessment and treatment, and greater convenience for pet owners. Veterinary clinics really are one of the ultimate one-stop shops!
Whether their needs are routine, surgical, medical or something else entirely, our experienced team is fully-equipped to keep your pet healthy and thriving. Please call us if you have any questions about our range of services.
