Vet Clinic Leaf Shadow Background

Surgery can be a daunting word, but sometimes it’s the best path for a healthier, happier life.  We combine experience, empathy, and modern techniques to make each step as smooth as possible.

When Surgery might be Needed?

Injuries or Trauma

Broken bones, deep wounds, or other accidents may require surgical care.

Chronic Conditions

Some problems, like persistent arthritis or recurring infections, sometimes need surgical intervention.

Preventative Surgery

Gastropexy or lump removals can avoid serious complications down the track.

Emergencies

Issues like a twisted stomach (bloat) or a difficult birth (caesarean) can be life-threatening without prompt surgery.

Our Approach to Surgeries

Advanced Monitoring: We track vital signs with modern equipment, ensuring quick response if anything changes.
Pain Management: Tailored medication plans, gentle nursing, and use of local blocks where appropriate.
Compassionate Care: Soothing voices, soft bedding, and a quiet environment to help maintain emotional wellbeing.
Team Collaboration: Vets, nurses, and support staff work closely from admission to discharge.
Follow-Up Support: We schedule check-ins and encourage you to call anytime.

Our Surgical Process: From Check-In to Recovery

  1. Pre-Surgery Assessment
    We begin by reviewing your pet’s medical history and performing blood tests if needed. This helps us tailor anaesthesia and pain management safely.
  2. Gentle Preparation
    Our nurses calm your pet, using soft voices and reassuring pats. We may give a mild sedative so they remain relaxed.
  3. The Procedure
    In our modern operating theatre, our experienced vets perform the surgery with precise care. We use advanced monitoring equipment to keep an eye on heart rate, breathing, and temperature.
  4. Recovery Room
    After surgery, your pet rests in a cosy recovery area under close watch. We’ll control pain with medication and offer comforting blankets or gentle warmth to help them feel secure.

Aftercare & FAQs

How do you ensure my pet’s safety during surgery?

We use comprehensive pre-surgical checks, modern monitoring equipment, and safe anaesthesia protocols to give your pet the best possible care.

Will my pet be in pain after surgery?

We take pain management seriously. From gentle handling to medication, we do everything we can to keep your pet comfortable.

What about emotional support?

Our team offers calm, reassuring care before and after each procedure. A soothing voice and gentle touch can make a big difference in reducing stress.

Will my pet stay overnight?

Some procedures allow same-day discharge, while others may require an overnight stay for close monitoring. We’ll keep you informed so you know exactly what to expect.

How do I prepare my pet for surgery?

We usually ask you to withhold food for a set number of hours before surgery and ensure your pet is well-rested. Specific guidelines vary by procedure, so we’ll let you know in advance.

Can I visit my pet while they’re recovering?

Typically, yes. We encourage it if it helps your pet’s emotional wellbeing. Just chat with our team about the best timing.

Do you offer payment options?

We understand finances can be a concern. Chat with us about possible payment plans or pet insurance to find a solution that works for you.
