Home visits available from March 2011
March 2011 –Community nurse and vet can now offer a visiting service to your home to give medication, vaccinations, check ups, dressing changes, blood pressure monitoring or basic puppy training. It is very useful if you have difficulty getting to the surgery, have a pet that gets stressed or you have a litter of puppies or kittens that require vaccination. If you are not sure whether a visit is possible – just ask. Our receptionists are friendly and happy to help.

Keyhole surgery
Although keyhole surgery technology has been around for some time, it isn’t part of the veterinary weaponry in many practices. However, as we believe that minimally invasive surgery in veterinary medicine is the way forward in offering the best possible care for your pet, we have invested in equipment for use with both our small animal and equine patients and our veterinary surgeons have undergone additional training to ensure they can provide the best service.

MRI at Newnham Court
We are pleased to be entering our eigth year in offering MRI at Newnham Court. Practices ranging from Essex to the Isle of Wight have referred patients to the clinic and have been delighted with the results.
Acupuncture
Much has been written about acupuncture, usually in connection to the treatment of people, however it is increasingly being used to treat animals and we are pleased to be able to provide this service at our hospital. It is a form of treatment developed several thousand years ago in China which require very small needles to be placed at selected points of the body. They are left in position for a short time and then removed. There is no pain and very little risk from acupucture and animals tend to accept the treatment well; some even fall asleep during therapy.
Ophthalmology Clinic
We are pleased to provide the opportunity for eye examinations to be undertaken by a visiting ophthalmolgist, Professor Peter Bedford. Clinics are arranged for a Saturday, 3 - 4 times per year. See our links page for contact details.
