These are just a few procedures we do, please contact us for any other inquiries.

Our clinic offers orthopedic surgeries to improve your pet's mobility and quality of life. Our experienced veterinary team is skilled in performing several types of orthopedic procedures, ensuring your pet receives the best possible care.

One of the key surgeries we offer is Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO), a procedure designed to alleviate pain and restore mobility in pets with hip dysplasia or severe hip injuries. We also perform simple fracture repairs to mend broken bones and ensure proper healing and function.

In more severe cases, such as when a limb is irreparably damaged or diseased, we offer limb amputation to improve your pet's quality of life and alleviate pain.

Additionally, we perform tail amputations for pets suffering from severe injury, trauma, or chronic infections that cannot be resolved through other treatments.

Our comprehensive approach to orthopedic surgeries ensures that your pet receives the highest standard of care, from pre-surgical assessments to post-operative recovery. By offering these specialized procedures, we aim to enhance your pet's mobility, comfort, and overall well-being.

We treat a variety of wounds, including abscesses, open wounds, and complex cases requiring specialized care.

For abscesses, which are collections of pus caused by infections, we provide thorough cleaning, drainage, and appropriate antibiotic treatment to prevent further complications. Open wounds, resulting from cuts, bites, or surgical procedures, are carefully cleaned and sutured if necessary, with ongoing monitoring to ensure proper healing.

Debridement is a critical part of our wound management protocol, involving the removal of dead, damaged, or infected tissue to promote the healing of healthy tissue. This can be done surgically, mechanically, or through the use of specialized dressings.

We also handle maggot-infested wounds, ensuring the safe and thorough removal of maggots and cleaning the wound to prevent further infection. This process is essential for restoring the wound to a healthy state and promoting proper healing.

Our wound management approach is tailored to each pet's specific needs, ensuring that they receive the most appropriate and effective treatment for their condition, improving your pet's overall well-being.

Our clinic offers comprehensive dental services to ensure your pet's oral health is in top condition. We provide dental X-rays to accurately diagnose any underlying issues that may not be visible during a routine examination. Our dental procedures include scaling to remove plaque and tartar buildup, extractions for damaged or diseased teeth, and polishing to smooth the tooth surface and prevent future plaque accumulation. We also use a UV torch to detect tartar and plaque more effectively. All dental procedures are performed under sedation to ensure your pet's comfort and safety.

Before any dental procedure, we recommend pre-anesthetic blood tests to assess your pet's overall health and ensure they are fit for sedation. These diagnostic tests help us tailor the anesthesia plan to your pet's specific needs, minimizing risks and promoting a smooth recovery. Our comprehensive approach to dental care ensures that your pet receives the highest standard of treatment for their oral health.

Chemotherapy is a vital treatment option in veterinary oncology, used to manage and treat various types of cancer in pets. Our clinic offers comprehensive chemotherapy services designed to improve your pet's quality of life while effectively targeting cancer cells.

Chemotherapy can be used as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with surgery and radiation therapy, depending on the type and stage of cancer. It works by using chemical agents to destroy or inhibit the growth of rapidly dividing cancer cells. Our approach to chemotherapy focuses on balancing efficacy with minimizing side effects, ensuring your pet remains as comfortable as possible throughout the treatment process.

Before starting chemotherapy, we conduct thorough diagnostic tests, including blood work and imaging, to assess your pet's overall health and determine the most appropriate treatment plan. Each chemotherapy session is carefully monitored by our experienced veterinary team, who will adjust dosages and protocols as needed to optimize outcomes and manage any side effects.

Common side effects of chemotherapy in pets can include mild gastrointestinal upset, temporary changes in appetite, and occasional lethargy. Our team is dedicated to providing supportive care to manage these side effects and maintain your pet's well-being.

By offering advanced chemotherapy services, we aim to extend your pet's life and enhance their quality of life. Our team is here to support you and your pet every step of the way, providing personalized care tailored to your pet's specific needs.

Sterilisation is a key service we offer to promote the health and well-being of pets, as well as to control the pet population. Our clinic provides comprehensive sterilisation procedures, including spaying and neutering, to prevent unwanted litters and reduce the risk of certain health issues.

In addition to routine sterilisation, we actively participate in Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) programs. TNR is a humane and effective method for managing and reducing feral cat populations. Through TNR, we trap feral cats, sterilise them, and then return them to their original locations. This approach helps to control the population and improve the overall health of community cats.

We collaborate with various shelters and animal welfare organizations to support our TNR efforts. For more information on the shelters we frequently work with, please refer to our 'Mission and Vision' page.

To ensure the comfort and safety of pets post-surgery, we provide bodysuits for small female dogs and cats. These bodysuits are a comfortable alternative to traditional cones, helping to protect surgical sites and promote faster recovery.

By offering sterilisation, participating in TNR programs, and providing post-surgical care options like bodysuits, we are committed to enhancing the health and welfare of pets and community animals alike.

Our clinic offers a range of urogenital procedures to address various urinary and reproductive health issues in pets. We perform Perineal Urethrostomy (PU) surgery to treat recurring urethral blockages in male cats, creating a new opening to facilitate easier urination.

Additionally, we offer emergency unblocking services for cats and dogs with obstructed bladders, ensuring prompt relief and preventing severe health complications.

We also perform cystotomy to remove bladder stones or other obstructions, improving your pet's comfort and health.

Our clinic offers artificial insemination (AI) services to assist with breeding and ensure successful pregnancies in pets. Artificial insemination is a valuable reproductive technology that allows for controlled and precise breeding, especially in cases where natural mating is not possible or practical.

By offering artificial insemination services, we aim to support responsible breeding practices and help pet owners achieve their breeding goals.

Gastrointestinal surgery is a common procedure in small animals at our clinic, addressing a variety of conditions to ensure your pet's health and comfort. Our skilled veterinarians perform surgeries for biopsies to diagnose underlying issues, removal of foreign bodies that pets may ingest, and treatment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. We also handle the resection of non-viable portions of the intestine and stomach, which may be necessary due to injury, disease, or obstruction. Additionally, we perform surgeries to remove tumors and other neoplasias, aiming to improve your pet's quality of life.

Emesis induction is a critical procedure in veterinary medicine, used to safely induce vomiting in pets that have ingested toxic substances or foreign objects. This process helps to remove harmful materials from the stomach before they can be absorbed into the bloodstream, reducing the risk of serious health complications.

Emesis induction is typically recommended in acute cases where a potentially toxic dose of a substance has been ingested. It is important to perform this procedure as soon as possible after ingestion to maximize its effectiveness. However, it is not suitable for all situations, such as when the ingested substance is caustic or sharp, as this could cause further harm during vomiting.

Before proceeding with emesis induction, our veterinary team will conduct a thorough assessment to determine the most appropriate course of action. This may include diagnostic tests to evaluate your pet's overall health and the potential risks involved.

By providing prompt and professional emesis induction services, we aim to mitigate the effects of toxic ingestions and safeguard your pet's health. If you suspect your pet has ingested something harmful, it is crucial to seek veterinary assistance immediately.

Fluid therapy is an essential component of veterinary care, particularly for pets suffering from dehydration or other conditions requiring fluid support. Our clinic offers various fluid therapy options to ensure your pet receives the necessary hydration and treatment.

For pets needing daily fluid therapy, we provide subcutaneous fluid administration. This method involves injecting fluids under the skin, allowing for gradual absorption and rehydration. It is often used for pets with chronic conditions, such as kidney disease, that require regular fluid supplementation. If administering fluids at home is not feasible, our team can perform this procedure at the clinic to ensure your pet receives consistent care.

In more severe cases of dehydration or when continuous monitoring is required, we offer hospitalization with intravenous (IV) fluid therapy. This method delivers fluids directly into the bloodstream, providing rapid rehydration and allowing us to closely monitor your pet's condition. Hospitalization ensures that your pet receives the necessary care and attention, with adjustments to fluid therapy made as needed based on their response and overall health.

Blood transfusions are a critical procedure in veterinary medicine, used to treat pets suffering from severe anemia, blood loss, or certain medical conditions. Our clinic offers blood transfusion services to provide life-saving support for your pet.

Due to the specialized nature of blood transfusions, pet owners are required to find their own donor. Suitable donors are typically healthy pets that meet specific criteria, such as being of a compatible blood type and free from infectious diseases. Our veterinary team will guide you through the process of identifying and screening a potential donor to ensure compatibility and safety.

While we strive to provide comprehensive care, please note that our clinic is not open 24/7. Blood transfusions are scheduled during our regular operating hours, and we recommend contacting us as soon as possible if you believe your pet may need this service. In emergency situations outside of our operating hours, we advise seeking immediate assistance from an emergency veterinary hospital.

Our team is dedicated to providing the highest standard of care during blood transfusions, closely monitoring your pet throughout the procedure to ensure their safety and well-being. By offering this critical service, we aim to support your pet's recovery and improve their overall health.
