Surgical Procedures

Our practice is well-equipped to perform most minor and major surgical procedures from speys and neuters to more complicated emergency and soft-tissue surgeries. Some orthopaedic surgeries will be treated in house, but some will be referred to our Referral Vets and Out of Hours Provider, Moorview Referrals.

Prior to surgery, your pet will receive a thorough physical examination to assess their current physical health and, in some cases, a pre anaesthetic blood test will be recommended. We offer a range of anaesthetic protocols tailored to your pet’s individual needs of which pain management will be included.

In most cases an intravenous (IV) catheter is placed in your pet’s leg to enable us to administer the induction dose of anaesthetic and deliver IV fluids during the surgical procedure and during the recovery period afterwards.

Costs of surgical procedures will be discussed with you in detail prior to the surgery, but please do not hesitate to ask if you would like more information.
