Any
time in
hospital is
stressful for
most animals.
Their comfort
is of utmost
importance at
Gold Coast
Vet Surgery.
Very
importantly
dogs and cats
are housed in
completely
separate
areas
with doors to
each ward for
noise
control. The
kennels are
specialised
veterinary
kennels
designed to
be secure,
warm and easy
to clean and
disinfect
between
patients.
Special built
in drains
help with
cleaning and
removing
unwanted body
fluids. We
have a range
of kennel
sizes
including
large walk in
kennels for
big dogs. To
reduce stress
for cats we
routinely use
the pheromone
product
Feliway in
our cat
kennels which
works a
treat. For
really sick
patients,
with a
suspected
infectious
disease, we
house them in
a separate
Isolation
Kennel
area to
reduce
contamination
of the rest
of the
clinic.
Patients on iv
drips are connected
to special iv fluid
pumps to ensure
that they get the
correct amt of
fluids during their
stay. Our climate
control air
conditioning keeps
patients warm in
winter and cool in
summer, and we have
a range of electric
and microwavable
heat pads,
especially to help
keep patients warm
as they recover
from
anaesthetic.
