Facilities at Moorview Vets
The clinic allows us to cater for any emergency day or night. During normal hours it also provides routine consultations, day patient surgery and offers free nurse clinic advice.
Reception and waiting area
On arrival one of our friendly receptionists will take your name and log that you have arrived. Our record system is fully computerised and shared by both surgeries.
Anaesthetics
We use a comprehensive range
of modern, safe anaesthetic agents (identical to those used in
human hospitals), allowing us to anaesthetise most species of
animal from a small hamster to a large dog.
All our surgical patients
receive peri-operative analgesics (pain killers) and a trained
veterinary nurse monitors the anaesthetic throughout the
procedure.
Heart and respiratory monitors (pulse oximetry, capnograph and blood pressure monitors) are used for high-risk cases undergoing general anaesthesia.
Operating theatres
We have 2
large, fully equipped, sterile operating suites. One of which is
dedicated to advanced soft tissue and orthopaedic/spinal
surgery.
We have a
wide variety of modern surgical instruments and equipment that
allows us to perform many advanced procedures.
Laboratories
Our main surgery is equipped
with laboratory facilities.
At the clinic we have the facilities to carry out both biochemistry and blood gas analysis to include many pre anaesthetic blood tests. We also perform in-house microscopy and urinalysis.
Dentistry
We have one dental station with an up to date air driven dental machine allowing us to do a high level of dentistry care.
Imaging and diagnostic equipment
The medical equipment we use is all modern, safe and is similar to that used in a human hospital. We have one imaging suite with a digital x-ray machine allowing assessment of imagines within seconds.
In addition we have a colour flow
Doppler digital ultrasound scanner. Other instruments such as rigid
and flexible endoscopes which are suitable for rhinoscopy and
endoscopy. ECG and blood pressure monitors allow us to diagnose a
wide range of serious conditions, again without the need for
surgery.
A mobile MRI scanner visits us once a month enabling us to use this valuable imaging technique.
Kennels, wards and isolation facilities
We have a large separate dog ward with facilities to accommodate even the largest of dog breeds.
Our dedicated cat ward is situated in a separate room away from the nosie of the dogs and the busier areas of the practice. This area allows the cats to feel as much at ease as possible.
We have a dedicated isolation
ward where we care for cats and dogs with infectious
diseases.
Our wards have a designated
hospital nurse that is responsible for making sure every animals
stay is as comfortable as possible.
