with a clinical, preventive and personalised approach
Veterinary services in Irún
At Muxkilda Veterinary Clinic
We have a clear understanding of veterinary services: it’s not about offering ‘a whole host of things’, but about doing what really matters for your pet’s health properly.
Every veterinary service you’ll find here has a specific aim: to prevent, diagnose accurately and treat responsibly. We work in Irún, in the Urdanibia neighbourhood, with a very clear approach: honest, unhurried medicine tailored to each patient.
Veterinary consultations
the starting point for any good diagnosis
Most health problems start with something that seems minor.
A change in behaviour, a loss of appetite, listlessness… signs that often go unnoticed. That’s why a consultation isn’t just about ‘looking at the animal’. It’s about understanding what’s going on
How do we work in our practice?
We collect detailed information about your pet’s general health
We carry out a full clinical examination
We consider possible diagnoses
We’ll explain clearly what’s going on and what your options are
If necessary, we recommend further tests to confirm the diagnosis.
We mainly cater to
- Dogs and cats
- Small mammals (rabbits and guinea pigs)
With a particular focus on areas such as
- Internal medicine
- Dermatology
- Endocrinology
- Cardiology
- Nephrology
- Neurology
Our aim is always the same: to arrive at a clear diagnosis so that we can make the right decisions.
Preventive medicine
prevent problems before they arise
One of the cornerstones of our veterinary clinic in Irún is prevention.
Because most illnesses don’t appear overnight.
What does preventive medicine involve?
Vaccinations tailored to each patient
Worming treatments
Regular checks
Nutritional advice
Management of elderly animals
Prevention reduces risks, suffering and long-term costs.
And, above all, it avoids having to make rushed decisions.

Advanced diagnostics
at the veterinary clinic itself
To provide the right treatment, you first need to fully understand what is going on.
And in many cases, this cannot be achieved through a physical examination alone: it requires diagnostic tests to confirm our suspicions.
At Muxkilda Albaitari Klinika, we have our own in-house laboratory, which allows us to reduce waiting times and act with greater confidence.
This makes all the difference when swift action is required.
In-house veterinary laboratory
We have an in-house laboratory for carrying out
-
Blood biochemistry
-
Complete blood count
-
Electrolytes
-
Rapid tests (Leishmania, FIV, FeLV, etc.)
-
Cytology
-
Urine and faecal analysis
In many cases, results are available in under 30 minutes. This allows us to make immediate decisions and adjust treatment plans during the same consultation.
There are situations that require more specific investigations.
In such cases
We work with specialist external veterinary laboratories, to which we send samples for:
- Advanced blood tests
- Histopathological examinations
More complex diagnostic tests
This allows us to combine the best of both approaches: speed in the short term and thoroughness when the case requires it.
Diagnostic imaging
We have
- We offer digital radiology
- Ultrasound
These tools allow us to see what is not visible from the outside and to confirm diagnoses with greater accuracy.
They are particularly useful in
- Digestive problems
- Urinary disorders
- Assessment of internal organs
- Inflammatory or neoplastic conditions
Veterinary surgery
with control and safety
When surgery is necessary, the important thing is not just to operate, but to do so with confidence.
At our clinic, we offer
- Soft tissue surgery
- Oral surgery
- Common surgical procedures
How do we ensure safety?
- Anaesthesia with mechanical ventilation
- Continuous monitoring (heart rate, respiration, oxygen levels, temperature, etc.)
- Protocols tailored to each patient
- Equipment sterilised in an autoclave
This is particularly important in older animals or those with pre-existing conditions.
Reducing risks is not an option; it is a necessity.
Veterinary hospitalisation
continuous care when it is needed most
There are times when your pet needs more than just a consultation.
It needs time, monitoring and ongoing treatment.
When is hospitalisation necessary?
- Conditions requiring monitoring
- Intensive care
- Post-operative recovery
- Patient stabilisation
During hospitalisation
- We monitor the patient’s progress
- We administer treatments and intravenous therapy
- We oversee their diet and basic needs
And here’s something important: we’ll keep you updated on how things are going, because we know what it’s like to be on the other side.
Advanced veterinary dentistry
much more than just a clean
Dental health is one of the most important services offered by our veterinary clinic, and also one of the most underrated.
And this is where many clinics fall short: they clean, but they don’t carry out a thorough diagnosis.
At Muxkilda Albaitari Klinika, we take a comprehensive approach to dentistry, because we know that many problems lie beneath the gums and are not visible to the naked eye.
The problem is simple: dental pain is almost never visible… but it is certainly felt.
What do we do in the dental unit?
- Comprehensive examination of the oral cavity
- Intraoral dental X-rays (essential for detecting hidden problems)
- Ultrasonic scaling
- Tooth polishing
- Extractions where necessary
Dental diagnosis using intraoral radiography
(the key to doing it right)
We have a veterinary dental unit equipped with intraoral radiography, a facility that makes a real difference to diagnosis.
What does this mean for your pet?
- We can examine each tooth individually
- We detect infections, fractures or hidden damage
- We ensure that no problems go untreated
- We design more precise and safer treatments
Dental treatments using specialist equipment
(IM3 GS Deluxe)
We use the IM3 GS Deluxe veterinary dental unit for our treatments, which has been specifically designed for veterinary dentistry.
This allows us to
- Working with high- and low-speed micromotors
- Performing extractions in a more controlled manner
- Reducing tissue trauma
- Increasing precision in every procedure
The result isn’t just technical: it means greater safety, less pain and a better recovery for your pet.
K-Laser therapy
less pain, better recovery
The K-Laser is one of the most effective tools for improving the well-being of many patients.
It is a form of therapy
- Non-invasive
- Painless
- No significant side effects
When is it used?
- Osteoarthritis and arthritis
- Chronic pain
- Muscle and tendon injuries
- Post-surgical recovery
- Inflammatory conditions
Its benefits include
- Pain relief
- Reduction in inflammation
- Faster healing
- Improved mobility
This is particularly useful for older animals, where we aim to improve their quality of life without overloading them with medication.
Transfusions and critical care
In certain situations, a blood transfusion may be necessary:
Injuries
Complex surgeries
Serious illnesses
In such cases, we work with blood banks and carry out the procedure under strict supervision, including compatibility testing.
Dental diagnosis using intraoral radiography
We work with discernment. That means:
Don’t carry out pointless tests ‘just in case’
Do not delay important diagnoses
Don’t treat it without knowing what’s wrong
Don’t overcomplicate things that can be simple
Every veterinary service has a purpose. And we’ll explain why.
