Operations

Scheduled operations are carried out in the mornings Monday-Friday. We carry out a variety of different surgical operations and our vets will be happy to discuss the procedure with you beforehand.

Most surgical procedures will require a general anaesthetic and we will formulate an anaesthetic regime that best suits your pet. We have a fully equipped operating theatre with gaseous anaesthetic and your pet will be monitored throughout by one of our nursing team.

Appointments for admission of animals for surgery are between 8.50 and 9.30am.

Cats and dogs should be starved from 8pm the night before (unless otherwise advised) but please leave with water overnight. Please take dogs for a short walk beforehand so they can empty their bowels.

Rabbits and guinea pigs should not be starved before an operation so please feed them as normal the night before and bring a small amount of their normal food with you on the day.
