Behind the scenes of feline anaesthesia 🐾
From IV access for induction drugs, to a laryngoscope for accurate intubation, and Intubeaze to reduce laryngeal spasms - we’re prepared every step of the way.
We also protect their eyes with lubricant, since cats can’t blink under anaesthesia.
Small details, big impact on patient care.

Busy surgery days mean lots of cleaning and sterilising! Behind every successful surgery is a team, a plan, and a tray of instruments that have been cleaned, scrubbed, and sterilised after a long day. 🐾✨

A gentle peek beneath the surface 🩺✨

Ultrasound scanning is a safe, non-invasive procedure that allows us to see what’s happening inside your pet’s body in real time, with no surgery and minimal stress. It helps us assess organs, check for abnormalities, monitor pregnancies, and guide treatment plans with confidence.

It’s Paul’s favourite diagnostic tool here at Railway - giving us clear answers while keeping your pets comfortable and cared for every step of the way. 🐾💙
