We have a Easytest blood analyser, that allows us to run a number of important blood tests, we are therefore able to rapidly diagnose a number of life-threatening conditions.

Hormonal assays on Thyroid and cortisol levels can also be carried out.
Rapid screening tests can also be done for three dangerous cat diseases namely Feline Leukaemia (FeLV), Feline Aids (FIV), & Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP).

Ringworm culture testing and microscopic evaluation of tissue samples can also be performed,

We are also able to analyze urine samples which can be useful to confirm some conditions.

At the clinic we have both a flexible and rigid endoscope. The flexible is small enough for us to examine a cats nasal cavity. This is particularly useful in many diagnostic procedures, where it is not usually possible to see or get to an area. examples include tumours and foreign bodies.

The rigid endoscope is used more with our exotic patients. This endoscopy system can be used for a wide variety of applications such as surgical sexing of birds, exploratory surgeries for organ biopsies in birds and reptiles as well as many uses in our mammalian patients.
