Our Facilities
On this page, you will find information on some of the facilities and equipment that the Cater
Veterinary Practice utilises, in order to ensure that your pet receives the best possible treatment
and care.

Surgery
The Practice has an operating theatre which is used for all our sterile procedures. We
also use up-to-date anaesthetics as well as premedicants. The Operating Theatre is
equipped with a modern Isoflo anaesthetic machine, which allows for smooth and safe
anaesthetic and a quick recovery period. Analgesics for pain relief are used routinely and are
usually included in the operation fee. We also have available a Respiratory Monitor.

Dentistry
Dental disease is one of the most common diseases seen in our pets. We have a dental
scaler which is used to remove the plaque and tartar that accumulates on your pet's teeth. A
polisher is then used to delay the recurrence of plaque buildup. We also have a
dental drill, which is used to assist with the extraction of teeth. Our Dental Care machine
is one of the most modern available. |

Radiography (X-Rays)
Radiographs are extremely useful in the diagnosis of various conditions. They can tell
us what is happening to the bones in the body e.g. the presence of infections, fractures,
tumors. They can also give us information about internal organs e.g. Lungs, heart, liver,
kidney, etc. We have a modern X-ray developer to ensure good quality images. |

Electro-cardiography (ECG)
Whereas an X-ray will show us the shape of the heart, whether there are enlargement,
growths, etc, a ecg goes further by actually telling us about the various chambers
of the heart and how they are functioning in relation to each other. It does this by
measuring electrical impulses at various points across the heart. It is a very non-invasive
procedure, thus, no sedation is usually required.

In-house laboratory
We run many of our blood tests on the premises. This gives us quick information on the
various components of blood (eg. Red and white blood cells, etc) as well as information
about different body organs and their level of function.
