Surgery

We pride ourselves on being able to provide state of the art surgical care and expertise.

All of our very experienced veterinary team perform routine operations and surgical investigations. We are able to perform a wide range of orthopaedic and soft tissue surgical procedures.

We have expanded, significantly developed and invested in our surgical facilities and advanced surgical equipment.

Our surgical facilities include:

• A brand new dedicated and fully equipped sterile surgical theatre, which is reserved for advanced surgery. This is complimented by a new prep-room and routine operating and surgical scrub facilities
• The very latest and powerful 110,000-lux surgical operating theatre lights
• Electrocautery/Diathermy for coagulation of small blood vessels and for cutting through soft tissues. This significantly reduces blood loss and operating time spent ligating small blood vessels
