PRE-ANAESTHETIC BLOODS
In-house blood tests are available for all patients undergoing sedation or anaesthetic.
The screening blood tests identify conditions such as anaemia (low red blood cells), clotting problems or inability to fight infection.
A biochemistry profile will assess organ function such as liver and kidneys to determine that they are able to recover normally from the anaesthetic agents used and that post operative medications are safe.
These tests are valuable for all life stages however we always highly recommend them for our senior patients (over 7 years of age).

Happy Saturday Ivanhoe East Community
“I have found a baby possum, what do I do?”
As the weather is warming up, more and more orphaned baby possums are being found.
Often found during the day after the mother has returned home to rest, these joeys have a very slim chance of being reunited in the daylight. Without their mothers, joeys need to get to an alternative heat source as soon as possible.
Taking a joey to a vet is the fastest way of getting it help, and increases its chance of survival.
If you are ever unsure, call wildlife Victoria or your closest vet clinic for advice.
Happy Saturday from Nurse Sarah and the adorable “Salsa” π
