Capontree are proud to host the services of both Sophie Betts (Northeast Vet Imaging - https://www.northeastvetimaging.co.uk/) as a specialist ultrasonographer and Hannah Stephenson Cardiology (https://www.hscardiology.co.uk/) at the practice on a regular basis. This enables are clients, and those of surrounding practices, to access high-level specialist diagnostic care without the travel often associated with such things in this area. Please call the surgery on 016977 2318 to enquire further, or e-mail Dan on the details above.
MRI and CT scanning are becoming increasingly used and recognised in veterinary medicine. In some instances conventional x-ray is just not enough to be confident with a diagnosis.
We have teamed up with Burgess Diagnostics, the leading provider of 1.5T mobile MRI scanning facilities to the veterinary profession, to be able to offer this service to our clients, and those of neighbouring practices. The lorry is staffed by an experienced radiographer and each vehicle is also equipped with anaesthetic and monitoring equipment for us to ensure your pet is well looked after at all times.
Due to changes in procedure enforced since Covid-19, the lorry is booked on a non-refundable case-by-case basis for 2021 onwards, meaning costs have unfortunately increased significantly. Please contact us at the surgery to discuss this further.
To book an MRI or CT scan please email dan.lewis@capontreevets.co.uk with your contact details and preferred date range, or call us on 016977 2318.
