VetVan uses the latest surgical techniques, anaesthesia, and pain medication. VetVan provides a range of surgical services, including speys, castrations, dew claw removals, tumour removal, fight wound cleaning and repair, skin and lump biopsy and soft tissue surgery such as third eyelid prolapse surgery and skin fold surgery.
Diagnostics
A full microscopic cytology service is provided during a consultation if required. As part of the diagnosis of lumps or skin and ear disease, samples can be taken from your pet, stained with special stains and viewed at 1000 times magnification using a high powered microscope. Results are immediate. VetVan also has access to diagnostic equipment that is used to accurately assess your pet’s health. Based on your pet’s needs, diagnostic tests or procedures might be recommended. VetVan offers cytology, radiology (x-rays) and a full-service laboratory for testing blood, urine, and faecal samples as well as screening for heartworm disease, feline leukaemia and feline immunodeficiency virus.
Chronic problems
A chronic problem is defined as a regular or recurring problem over a long period of time. Older animals often suffer chronic problems and require more regular care. VetVan can provide the following services:
- Short visits to check progress and provide medications by injection
- Screening tests to check medication levels
- Periodic blood/urine tests to check for medication side effects
- Formulation of treatment and monitoring plans
- Delivery of prescription medications
- Assessment of quality of life
Dentistry
A comprehensive oral examination includes: recording all problems on a dental chart, then hand scaling and ultrasonic scaling to clean above and below the gum line, high-speed polishing to smooth the tooth surface and if there are any damaged or diseased teeth that require extraction, pain relief, local anaesthesia and antibiotics are used to help with recovery.
