The Onderstepoort Veterinary Aacademic Hospital is a custom-designed facility that is less than two decades old, and provides continuous in-house clinical training for all final year veterinary students and final year veterinary nursing students annually. It has state-of-the-art equipment, top clinicians and specialists, and skilled, dedicated support personnel.
It includes different sections to ensure that many different species are catered for correctly and professionally, in properly designed and functional, yet attractive clinics and accommodation.
* The Outpatients clinic offers a first-opinion service to the surrounding northern suburbs of Pretoria, as well as extremely important student training, with consultations being carried out by final veterinary students under the direct supervision of an experienced clinician. Minor procedures (cat castrations, abscesses etc) are carried out during the course of the day. There is also a completely separate isolation ward for the hospitalisation and intensive nursing of puppies with contagious parvo virus.
After-hours emergencies are also catered for, and are stabilised with the help of the latest emergency drugs and equipment. A small x-ray unit is attached to the procedure area to aid emergency staff with diagnosis of fractures, foreign bodies, etc
* The Small Animal Clinic is divided into the Small Animal Medicine Department, Small Animal Surgery and Small Animal Reproduction.
There is also a Small Animal Intensive Care Unit available for critically ill or post-operative patients for constant monitoring. These patients are then returned to the clinic concerned, once stabilised.
* The Equine Clinic is custom-designed with 45 indoor stables for general medicine and surgery cases. Special stables are provided for intensive care patients and mares with foals. Isolation and semi-isolation stables are available for contagious conditions and patients that underwent nuclear imaging.
