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.
Our Equipment Includes:-
 |
XRAY
MACHINE -
'Say cheese' you're on film! (well mainly bones
and organs actually) Here at Crossroads our X-ray 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. |

MICROSCOPE - (left) 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)
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' who sadly passed away.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 flow efficiency. Please click on the links for more, detailed information.

OPTHALMOLOGIST: 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. |
