Consulting rooms
 There are 3 rooms that are used by vets to consult. Each is equipped with an examination table, though large dogs will normally be looked at on the floor. The rooms are used primarily for veterinary consultations where a history is obtained from you, the owner, the patient is examined and a course of action discussed and implemented. All decisions are made together with owners - we are here to help and guide you to what is best for you and
your pet.
 There are walk on weigh scales in each room to record your pet's weight and note any changes over time - from middle age spread to the old thin cat. Weights together with all other details of history, examination findings, and treatment are recorded on the computer terminal in each room. However, the computer is only a tool and we are conscious that it should not come between our clients and us!
Auriscopes for the examination of ears and ophthalmoscopes to look in to eyes are available in each room, as is a range of basic instruments to remove dressings or sutures. The stethoscope and thermometer are essential, everyday tools. Other diagnostic equipment is available from the Dispensary and Prep Room nearby.
We class the time that we spend with clients in the consulting room as possibly the most important part of veterinary practice.
