Our surgeons are experienced in a broad range of soft tissue and orthopaedic surgeries.

Our patients are monitored closely while under anaesthesia by our trained nurses. Heart rate,

respiratory rate and blood oxygenation are monitored.

Intravenous fluid therapy

We recommend intravenous fluid support while your pet is under anaesthesia to decrease anaesthetic risk by correcting any dehydration and maintaining blood pressure

Pre-anaesthetic testing

We recommend routine pre-anaesthetic blood testing for all animals undergoing anaesthesia.Because your pet cannot describe symptoms to let us know what might be wrong, we recommend a blood test to give us the answers we need, especially before surgery. By testing blood chemistries we can evaluate the status of your pet's major organs. The function of the liver and kidneys is especially important because these organs process and rid the body of medications used during anaesthesia. Depending on the results, we may adjust the dose or type of anaesthetic used or advise delaying surgery.
