We use isoflurane as our anaesthetic gas. This is a very modern and safe anaesthetic for all species, including small pets such as hamsters and gerbils.
During anaesthesia, animals are constantly monitored by trained staff. Our pulse oximeter which monitors heart rate and oxygen levels in our anaesthetised patients, gives us valuable information and maximises safety.
We use infusion pumps to administer fluids and control blood pressure under anaesthesia.
Theatre
We have a dedicated sterile theatre for operations, that is kept at a higher temperature than the rest of the Practice. This helps to speed up patients' recovery from the anaesthetic. We have an extensive range of surgical equipment and can perform most procedures here.
