What families say
-
Had a really positive experience with Cessna Lifeline Veterinary Hospital. The doctors were extremely caring, patient, and knowledgeable. They took the time to properly explain my pet’s condition and treatment plan without rushing. The staff was polite, responsive, and handled pets with genuine compassion. The clinic is clean, well-maintained, and equipped with good facilities for consultation, diagnostics, grooming, and rehabilitation. What stood out most was the attention and comfort given to pets during treatment — you can tell the team truly loves animals. Highly recommended for anyone looking for trustworthy veterinary care in Bangalore.
Susil Kumar D. -
We rushed our 10 yr old male GSD with bloat to Cessna on the night of April 29th as this was the only vet hospital open 24/7 for emergencies in Bangalore. The vets and staff immediately conducted all the necessary tests to determine that it was GDV and performed Gastropexy surgery at 1 am after explaining all possible outcomes for our pet. Professional and polite vet staff. The place has everything for a pet in distress and I highly recommend this place. We were also allowed to see our pet pre and post surgery for a few minutes and that was reassuring. We got regular video and picture updates about our pet's recovery, consultation from Dr Padam the next day via a phone call about our pet's vitals and discharge was also smooth with guidance on post operative care by the on duty Vet. Thank you for saving the life of our pet. We can never forget this.

Questions
Renal and critical tests: questions pet parents ask
Something else on your mind? Call us on +91 76763 65365 or ask at your next visit.
Is haemodialysis safe for pets?
Yes. When performed by trained specialists, it is safe and often life-saving.
How fast can electrolyte problems become dangerous?
Very quickly. Abnormal potassium can affect the heart within minutes to hours, which is why we test at the bedside.
When is blood gas analysis needed?
Whenever a pet has breathing distress, shock or kidney failure, or is under anaesthesia.
Can pets recover from acute kidney injury?
Many do, especially when treated early with fluids and dialysis support.
How often should pets with chronic kidney disease be checked?
Usually every 2 to 3 months, depending on the stage and how it is progressing.
