Diabetes awareness month

Did you know that cats and dogs can suffer from diabetes just like humans? Although there is no cure for diabetes, with proper care your pet can lead a normal life. If your pet suffers from lethargy, excessive thirst and frequent urination, then they may have diabetes. For more information speak to a vet at the practice or log on to www.petdiabetesmonth.com

Digital x-rays

Most hospitals are now using digital x-ray machines, to give faster and better quality images. At Summerhill we have been trialing some digital x-ray equipment, with the aim of investing in it, in the near future. So far we have been impressed with both the quality of the x-rays and the speed at which we get them. This means less anaesthetic (or sedation) time for your pet, and a higher chance of diagnosing the problem. As soon as our new eqipment arrives, you will be the first to know!
