Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy for Pets

Platelets are vital blood components that support clotting and trigger the body’s natural healing response. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy harnesses these healing properties to reduce pain and promote tissue repair in areas such as muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints.

The procedure is performed under a short general anaesthetic for safety and comfort. A blood sample is collected from your pet and processed in our on-site laboratory to concentrate the platelets. This enriched plasma is then injected directly into the affected area to stimulate healing.

PRP therapy typically takes 30 to 40 minutes. Most pet owners begin to see noticeable improvement within the first week, with continued progress over the following month.

What is otoscopy?

An otoscopy is one of the ways we make sure your pet’s ears stay healthy and comfortable. It’s a simple procedure where we use a small tool called an otoscope — equipped with a light and a magnifying lens or camera — to look gently inside your pet’s ear canal and check the eardrum. This gives our team a clear view of what’s happening deeper in the ear, helping us diagnose issues accurately and choose the best treatment for your pet.

Why do we perform otoscopy?

We may recommend an otoscopic exam if your pet is showing signs that their ears are bothering them. Some common reasons include:
• Chronic ear infections: Ongoing or recurring infections that don’t fully clear up.
• Scratching or head shaking: Pets who seem unusually irritated by their ears.
• Ear discharge: Any unusual fluid, especially if it has a smell or odd colour.
• Changes in hearing: Reduced responsiveness or suspected hearing loss.
• Redness or swelling: Visible irritation or inflammation inside the ear.
• Head tilt or balance changes: Loss of balance, persistent tilting or circling.

Our aim is always to make the experience as gentle and stress free as possible while getting to the root of the problem quickly, so your pet can feel like themselves again.
