surgery

We provide a wide range of surgical services from complex emergency procedures through to elective de-sexing operations. Both clinics have sterile surgical suites and a separate preparation/treatment room.

Safe, modern anaesthetic techniques and equipment with respiratory monitors are used. Our experienced veterinary nurses are well trained in anaesthetic protocols and monitoring.

We have advanced orthopaedic equipment including plating and pinning equipment.

We have modern dentistry equipment including an ultrasonic scaler and polisher. 

Pain relief is individually tailored for each patient ensuring your pet is as comfortable as possible and speeding recovery time.

For farm animals and horses many surgeries can be performed on farm such as castrations, suturing of wounds, caesarians and eye surgery. Complex equine surgeries are referred to a specialist equine facility in Canterbury.
