X-rays

Wilston Vet has recently become digitised for all of our radiography. We have both a digital dental x-ray machine and a digital general x-ray machine to enable us to assess your pets health issues. Not only does this save on anaesthetic time for your pet (as it is much quicker than traditional developing), it also is completely environmentally friendly as no hazardous waste materials are left as by-products.

History:
One Thursday night in July, Talulah’s owner Kirsty came home from work to find Talulah curled up on the couch. This
was a normal occurance for Talulah, however, when she said “Hello” to Kirsty, something didn’t seem right. Talulah’s “meow” was different and she seemed very unhappy. On a closer look Kirsty could see Talulah’s legs were bruised, wounded and very swollen. Kirsty immediately called Wilston Vet to say Talulah had possibly been hit by a car. Kirsty rushed straight down to see us.
