Welcome to Ms. Veterinarian Susanne Helmlinger & Veterinarian Rohan Schnell
Welcome Ms. Veterinarian Susanne Helmlinger & Veterinarian Rohan Schnell 469 225 Sven Jan Arndt

Some people have already had the pleasure of getting to know our two new assistant veterinarians. Veterinarian Susanne Helmlinger initially studied biology at the Philips University of Marburg and graduated with a bachelor's degree. This was followed by studying veterinary medicine at the Justus Liebig University in Giessen. Ms. Helmlinger did an internship at Loro Parque on Tenerife, among other places, and is an asset to our practice in the area of ​​birds.

TE Susanne Helmlinger

Mr. Veterinarian Mag.vet. Rohan Schnell is from Luxembourg and, as his title suggests, studied at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna. His current interests lie in the area of ​​physiotherapy in small animal medicine and (soft tissue) surgery.

TA Rohan Quick

Both work at our locations in Karlsruhe & Karlsbad.

We are pleased to have them both on board and wish you a good time with us!

The small animal center now has a computer tomograph developed specifically for small animals and pets such as dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc., which, due to its technology (digital volume tomography), requires 60% -90% less radiation than conventional 16-line computer tomographs at up to 30 times higher Resolution. This protects the animals and improves diagnostics enormously.

This allows us, among other things, to take 3D images of our patients and print them out on a 3D printer at the same time. This opens up completely new ways of preparing for operations, among other things:

3D cat head CT dental diagnostics
3D printing cat head
3D printing cat head for dental diagnostics

Further areas of application for the new computer tomograph in the Durlach Small Animal Center include:

• Dental x-rays, e.g. FORL in cats
• but also dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs can be examined in more detail using computer tomography
• Diagnosis of tumors and metastases
• Setting up bone fractures
• Preoperative planning of fracture treatment
• Visualization of vessels, bile ducts and
gastrointestinal sections with appropriate
contrast media
• Placement of probes
• Observation of dynamic processes
– heart movement
– ​​swallowing movement (esophagus visualization)
• Integrating implant control during
the operation (functions similar to a C-arm)
• Biopsies
• Positioning control before the CT examination

Mr. Koch is German, but has practiced at various clinics and practices in Venezuela (also a veterinarian) and Portugal for over 10 years together with his Venezuelan wife.
The political circumstances of his wife's home country have forced the small family (two adorable daughters) to look for a new home. We are very pleased to have Mr. Koch on board and warmly welcome him and his family to cold and rainy Germany!
