Reception
Our friendly nurses are able to advise you on a range of quality pet products and health care products including flea treatment, worming, dental care, medicated shampoos and high-quality pet foods. Walk-on scales enable body weight to be monitored, avoiding obesity and detecting weight loss.
Our nurses are always happy to answer questions and give advice where possible, or identify when a consultation with a vet is recommended.
Consultation Room
We at Camberwell Vet Clinic are full supporters that vaccination and parasite treatment (including heartworm prevention) are the cornerstone of preventative healthcare. Yearly vaccinations also provide the opportunity to give your pet a thorough check up. Dogs age 7 times faster than people, so a lot can change in a year. Check ups include listening to the heart and lungs, examining ears, eyes, teeth, coat and body condition, gait, lumps and bumps, as well as answering any questions you may have about your pet and their lifestyle!
Laboratory
We have state of the art in-house blood analysing machines which deliver fast results if your pet is unwell. We also utilise external pathology at a N.A.T.A accredited pathology laboratory for diagnosis of biopsies, complex tissues and some blood samples. Urine, skin scrapings, lump samples and ear swabs are examined in-house under a microscope. Occasionally being sent off for pathologist’s opinion.
Surgery
Our operating theatre is one of the best facilities in Melbourne. Anaesthetic monitoring includes multi-parameter monitors which measure non-invasive blood pressure, electrocardiogram, in-circuit anaesthetic vapour concentration, end-tidal carbon dioxide levels, Pulse oximetry and body temperature. Allowing for advanced anaesthetic monitoring to minimise anaesthetic risk. We are equipped for everything from routine procedures like desexing, to more complicated procedures like a fracture repair or patella luxation.
Hospital
Stainless steel patient hospital accommodation allows maximum cleanliness, together with soft, warm bedding designed for drainage that keeps patients as comfortable as possible.
Our hospital is also equipped with artificial feline and canine pheromones (Feliway & Adaptil), which neutralise other animal scents and helps relax them.
Digital drip pumps provide constant infusion of fluids, pain relievers and other drugs. Attentive vets and nurses keep close watch on ill patients hospitalised, tending to their every need. Toilet breaks throughout the day keep their mind and legs happy.
