Home Surgery
Surgery
Soft tissue and orthopaedic surgery, from routine procedures to patients who need care day and night.
Operating theatre
We have a dedicated climate controlled operating theatre, which lets us carry out a wide variety of procedures.
Having been anaesthetised and prepared for surgery, your pet is moved into theatre and onto a special table where piped medical gases are provided. An experienced nurse or vet is directly responsible for close monitoring once your pet is anaesthetised, so the surgeon can concentrate on operating. Once the procedure is complete your pet is moved back into the prep area to recover.
Treatment room
The treatment room is the hub of the practice. Many of the other rooms are arranged around this central area to allow for simple workflow.
This is where animals have blood samples taken, are put onto drips, are anaesthetised and recovered, and have minor procedures carried out.
Dog ward
The dog ward sits just off the central prep area, and is where dogs are kennelled for both day surgery and as hospitalised patients that need care day and night.
Most of the accommodation is based on large glass fronted walk in kennels, although smaller, cosier kennels are available for smaller dogs. If your pet stays with us we will make sure individual preferences for diet, bedding and comforters are met. There is a private visiting room so you can spend time with your pet, and a large enclosed exercise area at the rear of the building in natural woodland where animals can safely stretch their legs.
Cat ward
Cats are not small dogs, and they would not appreciate being housed in the same room as their natural predator. For this reason cats have their own bespoke ward, climate controlled and sound insulated.
Rabbits and other pets are also sensitive and can be housed in the same ward as cats. We are careful, however, that rabbits cannot see cats, as this can cause stress and associated problems. As with dogs, we stock a wide range of foods to accommodate the particular tastes of individual cats. A plug in pheromone device is used to keep stress to a minimum, and there is a play area for hospitalised patients.
