Frequently Performed Surgeries
Mass removal, biopsy, wound and hernia repairs, bladder stone surgery, ear and eyelid operations, and procedures for swallowed objects or bowel disease are routinely carried out. Surgeries to improve breathing in certain breeds and desexing are also offered as part of soft tissue care.
Preoperative Guidance
Before surgery, a health check and any suggested tests take place. Pain relief and anaesthesia are adapted to your pet’s species, size, and condition. During the operation, monitoring is provided by skilled staff with up-to-date equipment. After surgery, you’ll get written advice regarding feeding, restricting exercise, and wound monitoring.
What to Expect During Hospital Visit
On the day of surgery, your pet will be admitted by one of our nurses, who will confirm fasting status, review your consent form, and answer any last-minute questions. A pre-surgical examination is carried out by the vet before anaesthesia is administered.
During the procedure, your pet is monitored continuously by a dedicated nurse — tracking heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and temperature throughout. Our vets use careful technique and precise instrumentation to minimise tissue handling and promote faster healing.
Recovery and Looking After Your Pet at Home
Prevent licking using a recovery collar and swap running and jumping for short, quiet toilet breaks until given the all-clear. The wound should remain clean and dry, and medicines must be given exactly as instructed. Call the clinic if you notice swelling, discharge, or missing stitches, or if your pet appears uncomfortable. Follow-up visits help confirm healing and remove sutures.
