UltrasoundOur in house ultrasound allows us to see whats going on internally (the funnest times, when we are counting puppies). When required we also call in Dr Harold Pook for our more complex investigations. | |||
Dentistry and Dental Radiography For descaling and polishing teeth and extractions when required. Just like in humans, the tips of the teeth only tell half the story the rest of the picture lies underneath the gums. Only after radiology can we really tell what is happening. | |||
