for Wendy Procter's maternity leave - she is now working part-time from
September 2007. Caroline Hickman

New Laboratory Machine
We have just taken delivery of a state of the art blood
machine at Kendal. This will allow us to deliver rapid blood test
results at the surgery.
Ultrasound Scanning
The practice has recently taken delivery of a new
ultrasound machine which is already proving useful. Ultrasound
examinations will be familiar to any one who has had a family in the
last twenty years or so as it is a routine part of examinations during
pregnancy. Ultrasound has been late coming to the veterinary world, but
it is now very widely used.
Advances in Ultrasound
New - Cat Only Surgeries

care, health and welfare of cats.
Dogs Trust Neutering
Scheme

New referral service
We are offering to clients and other neighbouring practices, help and
advice plus a referral service if necessary for certain aspects of
orthopaedic surgery in small animals.
Our service will not include facilities for spinal cases, these we
would recommend, go to a recognised specialist in that field, but will
include any other aspects of orthopaedic problems in small animals.
Paul Hibbin provided a local referral service in Teasdale for
fracture repair for the last 10 years. Paul will be happy to help you
in both problem cases and first opinion cases.
