“Prevention is Better Than Cure!”
Preventative medicine is our goal at Mosman Vet. An annual physical exam is one of the most important services we can provide for your pet.
Additional Pet Care Services
Medical and Surgical Services
Dental
A preventable and common cause of pets not living their full life expectancy is dental disease. For this reason, we maintain a strong focus on dental care including fillings, extractions and root canal therapy.
We have dental X-ray capabilities to evaluate tooth roots. This is invaluable in identifying painful teeth that may look normal on the surface but are causing your pet to suffer.
Dermatology
In the hot, sticky Sydney climate, many pets suffer from skin disease. Whether it be allergies or parasites we can offer a comprehensive diagnostic including allergy vaccinations, diet trials and education on parasite control.
Chemotherapy and Oncology
Just like in human medicine, chemotherapy in pets is now a commonly used therapy. Treatment of cancer in our companion pets is an emotional and stressful time so we give you the option of a specialist oncology referral and in house chemotherapy treatments eliminating the need for you to take your pet elsewhere to have these treatments.
Radiology and Ultrasound
We offer the latest in digital radiography which allows us to see your pet’s X-ray in better detail and includes other features like magnification and contrast change. Digital images will also be e-mailed to specialists as a free referral.
We have an on site, state-of-the-art ultrasound machine to facilitate abdominal and thoracic imaging.
A Specialist Radiologist and Ultrasonographer visits our practice every week to view and give their opinion on radiographs and ultrasound.
Laboratory and Pathology
Our vets have access to a large number of laboratory aids. Our in-house laboratory can be of assistance if your pet has an emergency or acute illness. Blood counts, serum chemistries, electrolytes, blood gasses, clotting, fecal and urinalyses can all be tested within minutes.
Electrocardiography (ECG/EKG)
Accurately diagnosing electrical disturbances in the heart allows for better management of cardiac cases.
Blood Pressure Testing
An on site Doppler and oscillometric machine allow for accurate blood pressure measurement during anaesthetic, emergencies and management of medical cases.
Surgery
Our surgical suite is equipped with full instrumentation for a range of surgeries including routine de-sexing, soft tissue and orthopaedic.
All patients are monitored using a pulse oximeter to monitor your pet’s oxygen level, an ECG to watch your pet’s heart rate and cardiac rhythm, a blood pressure monitor and a respiratory monitor. In addition to this advanced anaesthetic monitoring, we have trained technicians who are watching your pet closely and constantly checking their respiration, heart rate and hydration level.
If your pet will be undergoing surgery at Mosman Vet please read our information on pre-anaesthetic blood tests and pre-operative instructions.
After Hours Emergency Care
We are open 7 days a week with 24-hour live-in nursing staff.
