Routine and more complex surgery, from stitch-ups to bowel and bladder surgery.

Orthopaedic surgery

Surgery for bones, joints and ligaments.

Desexing

Routine speys and castrations for dogs and cats.

Specialist services

Advanced surgery for complex cases, led by our specialist surgeon.

 

What to expect when your pet has surgery

  1. Consultation: your vet examines your pet, explains the options and gives you an estimate.
  2. Admission: you drop your pet off on the day. A deposit is needed before admission. Your pet may need to fast beforehand; we'll tell you when.
  3. Surgery: your pet is monitored closely by a vet and nurse throughout.
  4. Recovery: your pet recovers in our wards, cared for by our inpatient team.
  5. Going home: we'll call you when your pet is ready and explain their aftercare and medication. The balance is due when your pet goes home.
