Sugarland Vet Clinic - Veterinary Care

Consultations

Our consults are usually 15 minutes long but we are happy to spend as much time as required to provide you and your pet with a thorough and personalised service. We will discuss the diagnostic and treatment options fully so that you can make an educated decision on what is best for your pet. Our team of vets and nurses will help you with any veterinary help and advice that you may require. We also provide a 24 hour emergency service every day of the year so that you can have peace of mind that someone will always be here to help.

Surgery and Anaesthesia

Our modern anaesthetic machine is equipped with ‘isoflurane’, a safe anaesthetic agent that provides faster recovery for your pet. Patient monitors are used to measure your pets’ heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygen level, blood pressure, ECG and temperature. A trained vet nurse also monitors your pet throughout the surgery. We have a state of the art heated surgical table to ensure your pets’ body temperature is maintained. Dr Mike can perform orthopaedic, reproductive, cosmetic/reconstructive and soft tissue surgeries. We are committed to providing a quality service by keeping our vets and nurses up to date with the latest veterinary knowledge and skills, by attending courses and conferences regularly. Full referral service to veterinary specialists is available if this is in the best interest of your pet. Pain management and comfort is of high importance to us when your pet is in our care. We provide pain relief before, during and after surgery and can send pets home with an effective pain management plan.

X – Ray and Ultrasound

Our clinic is fully equipped to take diagnostic radiographs and with our new State of the art Digital X-ray system we can get results instantly to assess your pets’ condition. We also have an ultrasound machine to aid in the diagnosis of abdominal diseases and predict pregnancy

Hospital Care

We have separate cat and dog wards to reduce your pets stress and provide a comfortable environment while they are in our care. These wards are air conditioned and have roomy cages with comfy bedding. Our whole team works together to provide the best care possible for hospitalised patients. Intravenous fluids are administered via infusion pumps which enable us to accurately provide your pets’ fluid requirements

Dentistry

Caring for your pets’ teeth is important for their well being. We have an ultrasonic scaler and polisher. Routine scaling of your pets’ teeth will help prevent bad breath, reduce the risk of tooth loss and heart, kidney or liver damage later in life.

Dr Mike is a big fan of reptilious creatures and Dr Rachel loves seeing guinea pigs! They both think it’s great when people bring their rats, mice, birds and any other exotic pets to see them. We provide general health checks and advice, can clip birds wings or beaks, desex rats and guinea pigs and are able to offer surgical and emergency services for all exotics.
