Anaesthetics
Earlwood Animal hospital uses a range of the most modern anaesthetics. Each anaesthetic is chosen on the basis of what is safest for your individual pet. Routine patient is monitored using pulse oximetry during each anaesthetic . Routinely analgesia (pain management) is used during every anaesthetic and in most cases post operatively.
Earlwood Animal Hospital can perform pre-anaesthetic blood testing to increase the safety of any surgical procedure.
Dental care
Unfortunately teeth and dental problems occur in a large number of animals. All the vets at Earlwood Animal Hospital are experienced in treating a variety of dental problems. After a consultation a plan is made for each individual case concerning the anaesthetic and the dental procedures.
Dental radiographs, scaling and polishing, tooth extraction and gum or gingival grafts are regularly performed on an almost daily basis.
After the dental procedure our aim is to try and find a way to prevent further dental problems so as to minimise the need for further intervention.

Our staff can help your senior pets deal with concerns such as osteoarthritis, heart disease, kidney failure, hyperthyroidism, cancer therapy and weight control.
