A wide
range of surgical procedures are undertaken at the practice, from
neutering and other elective procedures to soft tissue, orthopaedic,
ocular and ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgery. A range of tests
may be used prior to surgery to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment.
This may include blood tests, fine needle aspirates, biopsies of
lumps and bumps and radiology.
To
augment the use of radiology in our pre–operative diagnostic imaging
procedures, we have a state of the art ultrasound machine. All our
surgical cases are admitted by a veterinary surgeon or veterinary nurse on the morning
of their operation, when any concerns can be discussed. We have
a veterinary nursing auxiliary dedicated solely to the care of our day–patients
during their stay with us. We use anaesthetic agents similar to those used in human patients undergoing day surgery, which allows for rapid and smooth recovery following surgery.
There is a range of equipment available to monitor your pet during
his or her operation, including pulse oximetry, oesophageal stethoscopes
and ECG.

We
hope that all of this will allow you to be confident to leave your pet
with us, whatever the surgical procedure from the minor to the major.
