This page should have a welcoming pik of the practise or of your good selves. it can be the building, or an appropriate interior - here are some kittens I prepared earlier. Perhaps this is one of the cutest pix ever. This is all to show what the page would look like WITH content.

RADIOLOGY (X-rays)
X-rays are one of the most commonly performed diagnostic tests in both human and veterinary medicine.
Although people commonly think of performing x-rays for the diagnosis of broken bones, there are many other conditions in veterinary medicine for which x-rays are used. For example pets can eat such things as elastic bands, needle and thread, plastic bags, razor blades, bones just to name a few inedible objects. So x-rays enable us to get a better "picture" of what might be going on with your pet.
It is often necessary to sedate a patient so that a more accurate and diagnostic x-ray can be acquired. Sedation is used to allow the pet to relax and also to minimise any discomfort that they may be experiencing from a painful area of their body. Sedation is normally short acting. We will discuss this with you when we assess what treatment and tests your pet will require.
ENDOSCOPY
Endoscopy is a procedure where a flexible tube called an endoscope is used to view the inside of a patient’s stomach, small intestines, colon, nasal passages, trachea, and lungs. It is a non-invasive way of seeing exactly what is happening inside your pet, and of obtaining biopsies for examination, avoiding the need for more invasive surgery.
In most cases we will refer you to a specialist for this procedure.
