At Lort Smith we can care for animals with many diseases and illnesses. We have a very experienced team of vets who provide expertise and care for a wide range of complicated surgical and medical conditions.
Dr Leanne is one of Lort Smith's esteemed head vets, and oversees the emergency and critical care portfolio.
"We are incredibly fortunate to have access to a wide-range of equipment in emergency and ICU cases to help us determine the reason the patient is unwell and treat them. These machines include in-house blood machines, urinalysis machines, oxygenated humidicribs, syringe pumps, endoscopes, x-ray, ultrasound and CT machines," explains Dr Leanne.
"Emergency services are for patients who have an immediate threat to life, significant impact on health and welfare, and are likely to deteriorate without veterinary treatment.
"Urgent veterinary services are for patients whose injury or illness may cause moderate to significant impact on their health and wellbeing. They are in a stable condition, but still require veterinary treatment to prevent deterioration," explains Dr Leanne.
Dr Leanne thrives on the fast pace and unpredictability of her role.
Thank you, Dr Leanne, for providing such amazing care and compassion to our patients and clients.
