Veterinary Surgical Procedures

Surgery Information

Surgery can range from the routine (spays and castrations), soft tissue surgery, the removal of tumours or complex specialised procedures such as orthopaedic surgery. We realise that if your pet requires a surgical intervention that this can be an anxious time for you. For elderly and ill patients we may recommend pre-surgical blood tests. We use the most modern surgical techniques and anaesthetic agents. During surgery patients are carefully observed by a veterinary nurse and by anaesthetic monitoring equipment.

In the post-op period the appropriate pain relief medications are provided . This is an area where many advances have been made in recent years and we ensure that your pet benefits from the modern analgesic drugs that are now available. In the days following surgery we carry out post - op checks on your pet to monitor his / her return to full health.

• Cranial Cruciate Ligament Replacement Surgery, including TTA
• Fracture Repair - internal and external fixation
• Correction of Displacing Patellas ( knee caps), sulcoplasty / ridgestop procedure.
