Take a look at what facilities we can offer
Veterinary dentistry progresses all the time and like human dentistry, special dentistry equipment is required. We have a dedicated digital dental X-ray machine and dental machine that allows us to ultrasonically descale and polish teeth as well as giving us the facility to perform more serious dental surgery if required.
Dental disease affects the entire body and impacts the comfort and long‐term health of your pet! Dentistry is a very important part of pet health care. Dental check‐ups and cleanings help to prevent dental problems and ensure that any problems that do arise are identified and treated as early as possible. Visit our services page to learn more about dental health.
A microscope is a fascinating and essential tool in the aiding of diagnoses. Microscopes are used to identify skin problems, blood cell recognition and urine analysis (a great help and interest to our trainee nurses).
Crossroads has a state-of-the-art high definition ultrasound machine which is used daily to investigate disease in our patients. The machine is used in three main areas:
We have fully equipped x-ray facilities which allows us to obtain diagnostic images within a matter of a few minutes. Our X‐ray machine is always in action taking radiographs of animals as small as mice up to the size of a Great Dane! Taking X-rays can be used for many very important conditions including orthopaedic injury, tumours, heart disease, as well as many abdominal problems.
These x-rays enable us to get a better "picture" of what might be going on inside your pet.
We also have a digital dental X-ray machine which provides critical information about your pet’s dental health below the gum line.
It's often necessary to sedate a patient so that a more accurate diagnostic x‐ray can be acquired. Why is sedation used? Animals don't understand what is going on when an x-ray is taken so keeping them relaxed and still while positioning them for an accurate picture is difficult so sedation is used.
Biochemistry and Haematology Blood Analysers - Blood analysers are used all the time and are a critical diagnostic aid.
Blood Pressure Monitoring - The blood pressure monitor is regularly used to monitor as well as diagnose high blood pressure.
Endoscopes - Used for internal investigation.
Pulse Oximeters - Aid in anaesthesia monitoring.
