Surgery

Types of Surgery We Perform

Sterilisation

Sterilisation is a surgical procedure where part of an animal’s reproductive organ is removed to permanently prevent it from reproducing. In females, sterilisation reduces the risk of certain cancers like mammary gland tumours, ovarian and uterine cancers and womb infections in the female. Castration reduces the risk of testicular cancer and prostate disease in male dogs.

Soft Tissue Surgery

We perform a wide range of soft tissue procedures. The following surgeries are the most common soft tissue procedures we perform:

  • Cystotomy
  • Splenectomy
  • Mass removal
  • Foreign body removal
  • Stitching of skin wounds

Risk Reduction

Although many technological advancements have made anesthesia and surgery safe for pets, some risks still exist. To decrease these potential risks, we highly recommend pre-anesthetic blood testing for your pets.
