Surgery can be a stressful time for pets and owners. Our surgical suite boasts modern equipment, and your pet will be in highly-trained, careful hands. We know you’re going to worry, so we’ll send you regular updates and photos to let you know how your pet is doing.
Pack and Clowder Vets offers elective and emergency soft tissue surgery, from routine desexing to retrieving bladder stones and swallowed socks. Whatever it is, we’re prepared.
We refer our orthopaedic surgeries to a wonderful orthopaedic surgeon. Orthopaedic complication rates are lowest when performed in a specialist setting, and we want the best outcome for your pet.
At Pack and Clowder Vets, we pride ourselves on safe anaesthesia and surgery. Our precautions include:
- Fully trained and accredited anaesthetic nurses
- Pre-op blood testing to identify any potential complications
- Relaxing pre-anaesthetic medication to ensure pets are calm going into their procedure
- IV fluids to enhance safety and speed up recovery time
- Extensive patient monitoring, including blood pressure, ECG, temperature, heart rate, breath rate & quality, pulse rate, CO2 & O2 levels and depth of anaesthesia
- Close post-op monitoring in our heated ICU cages with oxygen supplementation if needed
- Strong in-house pain management and regular reassessment to ensure your pet is comfortable
Our take-home pain medications are in forms that are easier to give, and all of our post-operative consults are free of charge.
