Soft Tissue Surgery

Overview

Pet parents are encouraged to be part of their pet’s treatment plan and we strive to involve our clients in decision-making to choose what is best for their pet.

Whether your pet requires a minimally invasive procedure or a complex surgical operation, our skilled surgeons, advanced nursing team and state-of-the-art facilities help to ensure that your pet has the best possible care and outcome.

Following a consultation with one of our soft tissue surgeons, pets may be admitted on the same day for further diagnostics or surgery, or scheduled for a different day depending on the pet’s individual needs.

Patients who have soft tissue surgery often require a high level of advanced nursing to ensure that they are supported post-operatively. Our advanced nursing care team supports complex patient care through diagnostic monitoring, administering pain medications and ensuring that pets are kept comfortable.
