Yes, you’ll need to schedule an appointment at our clinic, prior to any surgery procedures being booked in with our medical team. Once our vets have advised you that your pet requires surgery, we will then go through all the steps including treatment costs, any risks associated with surgery, and the recovery schedule. We believe in full transparency in everything we do.
Prior to any surgery being performed, we will always assess your pet’s health condition and carry out a pre-operative consultation. This will include both a physical examination as well as blood tests, to make sure your pet is fit enough to carry out surgery.
On the night before the date of surgery, it is important that your pet does not eat after midnight but they can drink water. Please ensure that everyone in your house is aware of this.
We will perform a complete pre-anaesthetic evaluation to identify any potential dangers related to anaesthesia. Please be aware that each pet has a unique anaesthetic schedule and is constantly monitored during their stay at the clinic.
With every surgery we perform, we strictly adhere to sterilizing procedures. The majority of surgical procedures are performed in a sterile theatre with gloves, gowns, hats and masks. Our medical teams are trained to deal with the different aspects of care during anaesthesia from induction right through to recovery.
When undertaking surgery, we will always provide regular updates throughout the day, so you know how things are progressing. We’ll contact you once surgery has been completed and let you know when you are able to take them back home from our clinic.
The time it takes for your pet to recover, and their specific care requirements will largely depend on the type of surgery they’ve undertaken. Generally speaking, most pets recover fairly quickly from the anaesthesia, although some post-anaesthesia fussiness and sleepiness is completely normal. This usually wears off within 48 hours. During this time, it’s best to keep cats indoors nearby to their litter tray, and take dogs out on a leash when they need to go to the toilet. Your pet’s bedding should be clean and dry to prevent the risk of infection, and you should remove any toys that encourage your pets to play. It’s also best to ensure your pet’s surroundings are quiet and calm, so they can be as relaxed and stress-free as possible while the initial recovery phase. If you have other pets or children, it can be a good idea to keep them away from your pet while they are recovering.
For the first few days after surgery, it is best to provide your pet with small but regular amounts of light food to avoid any potential stomach problems – our vets will be able to recommend an appropriate post-surgery diet. If your pet has undertaken dental surgery, we will advise you on the most suitable soft food for your pet until their gums heal. We may also advise you to help your pet by feeding them via a syringe, until they are feeling adequately recovered to eat well on their own again.
If you notice anything unusual or deterioration in your pet's overall condition in the following few days after surgery, please contact our medical team immediately so we can best assess the situation.
From our fully-equipped clinical facilities, we are proud to offer an extensive range of surgical procedures carried out by our expert vets. To discuss surgery options for your pet, including scheduling and pricing, please book a consultation with one of our vets today.
