Common procedures
We commonly perform mass removal and biopsy, wound repair, hernia repair, bladder stone removal, ear and eyelid surgery, and gastrointestinal surgery for swallowed objects or bowel disease. Suitable brachycephalic airway procedures can improve comfort in selected breeds. Desexing is also part of soft tissue care
What to expect
Before surgery we complete a health check and any recommended tests. Anaesthesia and pain relief are tailored to species, size and health. During the procedure your pet is closely monitored by trained staff using modern equipment. After surgery you receive written instructions for feeding, activity restriction and wound checks.
What happens on the day
We use calm handling and low-stress positioning. Sedation is used only when it will improve safety or image quality. For ultrasound, a small area is shaved and gel is applied to allow sound waves to pass. You receive same-day explanations and a copy of the plan. Complex cases may be reviewed by a specialist radiologist.
Recovery and home care
A recovery collar prevents licking. Short, calm toilet breaks replace running and jumping until we advise otherwise. Keep the wound clean and dry. Give medication exactly as directed and call if you notice swelling, discharge, missing stitches or if your pet seems uncomfortable. Rechecks remove sutures and confirm healing.
Frequently asked questions
Food is usually withheld from midnight. We will confirm exact timing.
We plan effective pain relief and adjust it at rechecks.
Commonly in 10–14 days, depending on the site and how it heals.
