Hervey Bay Veterinary Surgery Services
Preventative Care
A big chunk of our job is to make sure your pet needs to be here as little as possible! Preventing a problem is better than solving it, after all. It’s important to keep up to date with vaccinations, and to take precautions against potentially harmful parasites like tape worms, fleas and heartworm. We also offer microchipping (a process now so simple we can do it during a routine check-up), which is quickly becoming mandatory for dogs across the country.
Horse Health Package
Surgery
Our vets are able to perform a comprehensive range of surgical procedures on a wide variety of animals, including routine desexing, orthopaedics and dental work (which can become increasingly vital as a pet gets older). Our operating theatres are kitted out with the latest equipment (and the best surgeons, of course), and impeccably maintained to ensure a sterilised environment at all times.
Diagnostic Methods
Whether we’re looking for a specific ailment or running a general scan, we’ve got the tools to diagnose any animal quickly and accurately. We’re able to use imaging services like ultrasonography and digital radiography, as well as a fully-equipped biochemical laboratory as well. Whatever the problem, we’ll sniff it out.
Emergency Service
We are fully equipped to provide emergency treatment to your pet if they are in need of urgent medical care. If your pet needs emergency care within normal clinic open hours, where possible, please call the clinic first, to let us know you are coming. This gives us a chance to alert the team and prepare for your arrival.
We understand that not all pet emergencies happen within normal business hours and that’s why, between our clinic and the other wonderful clinics in Hervey Bay, we offer an after-hours service. If your pet needs to be seen after-hours, please call our normal clinic number. The phone message will then give you instructions, and let you know which clinic is on call for that evening or weekend.
