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.

Bakan – Fell 9 Stories And Lived To Tell The Tale

Name: Bakan
Age: 6 months old
Weight: 3kg

History: Bakan, a super cute rescue kitten from Pets Without Partners, was living a fabulous life with his mum and dad in their unit. One night, Bakan’s owners realised that they hadn’t seen Bakan for half an hour or so. They then shortly afterwards received a call from PetER at Stafford Heights. A good Samaritan had found Bakan lying in their driveway and had kindly rushed him straight to the nearest emergency centre. It appeared that Bakan, being such an inquisitive and adventurous kitten, had taken a plunge from their 9th story unit!
