Hemodialysis
Hemodialysis is a procedure where a dialysis machine and a special filter called an artificial kidney, or a
dialyzer, are used to clean blood. Renal conditions need the right care and attention. To provide the best
service to pets, we have also partnered with technicians from human hospitals to enable smooth process of
hemodialysis.

Oncology
Approximately 1 in 4 dogs will, at some stage in their life, develop neoplasia. Almost half of dogs over the age
of 10 will develop cancer. Dogs get cancer at roughly the same rate as humans, while there is less information
about the rate of cancer in cats. Some cancers, such as lymphoma, are more common in cats than in dogs.
Our Oncology team is established to provide the best cancer care and treatment. We aim to partner with pet
parents and provide them with the best possible options when it comes to cancer care to provide quality life
to their pets. Our focus for cancer patients is early diagnosis, prompt treatment and smooth recovery.
We have also associated with Dr. Nupur Desai – board certified veterinary oncologist, Mumbai to provide
specialist opinion. We are also associated with HCG hospital, Bengaluru to apply knowledge of human
oncology to veterinary practice.
Our services for cancer care include
- Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy uses one or more anti-cancer drugs as part of a standardized chemotherapy regimen.
Chemotherapy may be given with a curative intent, or it may aim to prolong life or to reduce symptoms. At
Cessna Lifeline, we aim to provide quality of life with this treatment and monitor pet’s health at regular
intervals to ensure the same.
- Surgical Oncology
When surgical intervention is required for cancer treatment, our hospitals are equipped with advanced
technology to perform these procedures. Our peri-operative care is exceptional and supported with advanced
diagnostic investigations.
Often, as clinicians we find signs and symptoms might go unnoticed or even sub-clinical (like minor lumps and
bumps). If you have pets over the age of 6 years, our recommendation is that you must register for a master
health checkup Register

Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation
Physiotherapy is a rehabilitation specialty with a focus on the restoration, maintenance, and promotion of
optimal physical function throughout the lifespan of a pet. It is provided to pets who have (or may develop)
impairments and activity restrictions relating to conditions of the musculoskeletal, neuromuscular,
cardiovascular, pulmonary, and integumentary systems.
Since its inception in 2013, Cessna Lifeline’s physiotherapy department has helped many pets to manage and
recover from various orthopedic and neurological conditions and lead a good quality life. Our physiotherapy
department works closely with the veterinarians, and performs services based on their referrals. The various
modalities offered are as follows:
- Laser Therapy
Laser therapy utilizes penetrating photonic energy to achieve physiological and biochemical changes within
the targeted tissues. Laser therapy augments the healing and recovery in conditions such as osteoarthritis,
post-orthopedic surgeries, hip dysplasia, paralysis, muscle dystrophy, acral lick granuloma, and acute and
chronic wounds. Laser therapy results in alleviation of pain and inflammation, immunomodulation, promotion
of wound healing, tissue regeneration and nerve stimulation.
- Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy can be used for physiotherapy, rehabilitation as well as general fitness. Hydrotherapy uses the
properties of water like buoyancy, viscosity, resistance, and hydrostatic pressure to provide beneficial
outcomes in the patient.
At Cessna Lifeline, we offer two forms of hydrotherapy: the pool and the underwater treadmill. Both have their
own significant benefits. The form of hydrotherapy is selected based on the patient’s health condition,
temperament, and comfort level.
We offer various packages to suit and cater to different sizes of pets.
NOTE: Although most dogs are natural swimmers, they may panic or get stressed due to fear. Therefore, the
first few sessions of hydrotherapy are carried out with assistance. Life jacket, harness and other appropriate
floatation and supportive equipment will be provided as per the patient’s requirement.

- Fitness Programs
We also design customized fitness programs for your pets which would be a combination of physical therapy
and hydrotherapy. This would be based on a comprehensive consultation with our veterinarians who would
determine a proper fitness program for your pets.

equipments such as C-arm, laparoscopy and laser technology.
Central Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory
Diagnostics plays an integral part in your pet’s wellness and health checkups. Keeping this in mind, we have
brought the lab and diagnostic facilities within our offering. When you visit a Cessna Lifeline hospital, you can
be assured that if a test or diagnostics is required for further investigation for your pets, not only will it be
done within the premises* but we also aim to deliver quick and reliable results.
To ensure high quality diagnostics, we have collaborated with renowned institutes like Texas Veterinary
Medical Association, Cornell University and Antech Diagnostics, USA to meet our diagnostic needs. These
widely recognized institutions assist us with tests like
- Serum Trypsin like immunoreactivity
- Acetylcholine receptor antibody
- Anti-Mullerian hormone assay
- Immunophenotyping/Flow cytometry
Samples collected at our hospitals are dispatched internationally and they provide us with the diagnostic
results for the same. This helps cement our promise to deliver accurate results to our clients.
Cessna Lifeline is having a fully functional clinical pathology unit which provides:
- Hematology – A branch of medicine involving the study and treatment of blood to identify various disease conditions like anemia, blood parasites (haemoprotozoans), infections etc.
- Clinical Biochemistry – This is a division of laboratory medicine that deals with the measurement of chemicals (both natural and unnatural) in blood, urine, and other body fluids. These test results are useful for detecting health problems, determining treatment options, and progress of disease.
- Clinical Pathology – Clinical pathology helps accurately diagnose disease through laboratory testing of blood, bodily fluids, and tissues, and by evaluation of individual cells. A variety of test procedures and microscopic examinations are performed to confirm a clinical impression, establish, or exclude a diagnosis, monitor therapy, and help establish a prognosis.
- Cytology – Cytology is the microscopic examination of cells that have been collected from the body. By examining the appearance of these cells, including their number, size, shape, color, internal characteristics, and how they fit together with their neighbors, it is often possible to make a diagnosis of a specific disease process. The most important thing cytology can tell us is whether a problem is caused by inflammation or by neoplasia (abnormal growth of tissue). Cytology is most useful for the detection of infectious conditions such as histoplasmosis, bacterial and fungal rhinitis and tumors like pulmonary neoplasia, lymphoma, sarcoma, melanoma, hepatic lipidosis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatic malignancy, transmissible venereal tumor (TVT, Transitional cell carcinoma and corneal tumors).
- Histopathology – Histopathology is the examination of samples of whole tissues and is performed on a solid piece of tissue that has been collected surgically. The tissue sections are examined under the microscope by a veterinary pathologist. Histopathology focuses on the architecture of the tissue and provides more information about the tissue and the accuracy of a diagnosis is usually high.
- Clinical Microbiology – In our laboratory, we perform isolation and identification of organisms (bacteria/fungi), antibiogram, and molecular biology. This enables us to diagnose different infectious diseases, choosing the right antibiotic and to monitor the progress of the treatment.
- Whole blood storage facility for transfusion – Blood transfusion is imperative when a pet is suffering from hemoprotozoans, hemorrhage, anemia and any blood loss conditions. We have created a facility to store blood collected from eligible pets and use in times of emergency.
- Endocrinology – We perform hormonal assays such as estrogen, progesterone, ACTH, cortisol, parathyroid hormone, thyroxine, and insulin. Our lab is using species-specific kits for these assays.
- Immunology – Flow cytometric immunophenotyping remains an indispensable tool for the diagnosis, classification, staging, and monitoring of haematologic neoplasms. Phenotypically abnormal populations have been documented in many haematologic neoplasms, including lymphoma and plasma cell neoplasms.
- Infectious diseases scanning – Snap tests performed in our lab helps a veterinarian in the quick diagnosis of infectious diseases such as Canine Distemper, Parvoviral infection, Babesiosis, FELV, FIV, Ehrlichiosis, Toxoplasmosis.
- Biomarkers – New biomarkers promise to transform veterinary practice through rapid diagnosis of diseases, effective monitoring of animal health and improved welfare and production efficiency. We make use of cardiac, liver, and kidney biomarkers to detect the level of elevated enzymes involved in the disease. Biomarkers help in early detection of a disease even before its clinical signs are observed.
- Post-mortem/Necropsy – For selective cases only, with the consent of our pet parents, we perform post-mortem to gauge the cause of death. We also provide post-mortem services for other hospitals where applicable.
Histopathology aids in the definitive diagnosis along with prognosis and can predict whether a cure is
possible. This technique is used in inflammatory, congenital, and cancerous diseases like Inflammatory
bowel disease, Hepatitis, Glomerulonephritis, and Tumors. While the results may not always be good
news, Cessna ensures that your pet receives the best treatment and care possible.
