Before Diagnosis
A definitive diagnosis is performed at the BVC, to diagnose cancer and furthermore to estimate the “stage” of the cancer. This may involve biopsies, imaging & blood samples. Our specialists make use of our in-house radiography, ultrasound, CT scan and laboratory where needed to achieve a faster and definitive diagnosis.
After Diagnosis
Diagnosis of cancer in your pet can be a traumatic situation. Our specialist vets and visiting oncologists will present and take you through all treatment options available and the quality and quantity of life expected with each of them, thus making this decision-making step easier on you.

Did you know that by the age of 3, your pet will likely have some form of early dental disease, and this increases to 85% in dogs and cats by the age of 6. Dental disease is easily and often overlooked and can be a significant cause of pain in pets. Therefore, we take dental health very seriously at the BVC.
- We utilize local anaesthetic nerve blocks and devise a pain management protocol for each patient
- Pets undergoing dental work require general anaesthesia, and we utilize the same high standard anaesthetic protocols and monitoring systems as we do with all our procedures.
- A free post op check is offered to all patients undergoing dental extractions, to ensure recovery is going as expected.
- Our vets are experienced in working with rabbits and other rodents suffering from dental issues and are happy to accept referrals in this field.
- The BVC welcomes our visiting dental specialist Prof Gerhard who offers advanced dental as well as oral-facial surgery and treatments.
