Services

Our work here at Crossroads is aided by various 'state of the art' diagnostic aids. We have an extremely hard working team of nine veterinary nurses whom provide the very 'backbone' vital to any busy efficient and forward thinking practice.

Therefore the nurses provide great support to the vets and also run daily clinics for such as post operation stitch removals, pedicures, weight checks, post operative dental checks, microchipping pets, administering program injections for flea control, general advice, wound redressing.

We also hold a free weight clinic to which vets may refer those pets in need of losing a pound or two or indeed our nurse whom holds this clinic is happy to advise anyone with questions or concerns about diet in general.

We are just a phone call away and our busy and well trained reception staff will endeavour to assist you in anyway they can, whether it is to get you the advice or information you need or to make a booking to suit your pets needs if necessary.

All our staff are kept up to date with any training or course attendance relevent to their 'job' which is vital in the ever progressive world of medicine be it for people or pets.

Behind the scenes is the diagnostic equipment. This aids in giving accurate diagnosis when it is possible to do so without sending samples away to an outside laboratory or specialist veterinary diagnostic organisation.

Our Equipment Includes-
XRAY MACHINE - 'Say cheese' you're on film! (well mainly bones and organs actually) Here at Crossroads our xray machine is always in action. Taking radiographs of animals as small as mice up to the size of a Great Dane, the machine is used to diagnose fractures, tumours and other internal problems.
X-ray machine
 Microscopic services

 

MICROSCOPE - fascinating and essential tools in the aiding of diagnoses.
Used to identify skin problems, blood cell recognition and urine analysis (a great help and interest to our trainee nurses)

ENDOSCOPES - Used for internal investigation.

PULSE OXIMETERS - Aid in anaesthesia monitoring.

ECG - Helps detect a heart problem.

                

BIOCHEMISTRY and HAEMATOLOGY BLOOD ANALYSERS - A great diagnostic aid. These machines are able to monitor and detect a number of internal problems and also aid the vet with specific treatment.

BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR -
Our blood pressure monitor was very kindly donated to the practice by Mr Yogi Madlani and Dr Pat Taylor in memory of their much loved dog 'Nimi' whom sadly passed away.

Blood analysis

The blood pressure monitor is regularly used to monitor as well as diagnose high blood pressure.

ULTRASOUND- we now have our own in house ULTRASOUND equipment which has been very busy in assisting diagnosis in many cases This enables us to offer clients an efficient diagnosis when possible without having to refer to other clinics or hospitals which delays initial results or diagnosis. As we are able to offer ULTRASOUND we can carry out pregnancy checks, check for stones and growths and is also able to check the heart and surrounding blood flo efficiency. Please click on the links for more, detailed information.

Also every Wednesday sees the arrival of Ken Fraser- our visiting OPTHALMOLOGIST. The OPTHALMOLOGIST will see pets whom have been referred to him for by the clients own vet and this sometimes means that people come in to see him from some distance away. Of course our clients are lucky enough to have use of this service at their own veterinary practice should the need ever arise. Ken also performs Kennel Club eye tests on dogs whom will become parents if they pass the eye test with the 'all clear' and other eye tests which the dog may need.
