Surgical Facilities
Our large Equine Theatre has separate knock down and recovery boxes. These boxes are completely padded to protect the horse during the induction and recovery from anaesthesia. There is a hydraulic operating table with various attachable leg and head supports to ensure correct and comfortable positioning of the horse.
There are piped gases for anaesthesia. All anaesthetised patients are monitored using ECG and direct blood pressure. There are separate scrub areas, instrument stores and changing rooms to ensure a sterile environment is maintained in the theatre. There is also a viewing area with window overlooking theatre so owners can watch the surgery.....if they so wish!
