Veterinary Surgeon - Medivet Wool

This three vet clinic is very well equipped with digital x-ray, ultrasound, haematology and biochemistry analysers, multiparameter anaesthetic monitor, and therapeutic laser,  allowing the team to work-up cases to an excellent standard.

For more complicated cases, Medivet Watford is a short drive away. Here, cases can be treated by our team of surgery, imaging, medicine, and cardiology certificate holders and benefit from endoscopy, laparoscopy, advanced ultrasound, and CT.
