Operating Theatre

 

The theatre is a busy place; we operate every weekday and, in emergencies, at weekends as well. The type of operations we perform vary greatly, from rabbit dentals to bitch spays, from mending broken bones to removing a cat’s thyroid glands.

Patients stay in our comfortable kennelling facilities and check in with us during their pre-operative consultation on the morning of the procedure.

the drip stand to the left and
the anaesthetic machine to the right.

Our operating theatre is equipped with two operating tables with anaesthetic machines and monitoring equipment. Once anaesthetised patients’ heart rates, respiration, and blood oxygen levels are closely monitored by nurses whilst vets operate, helping us ensure that if your pet has to undergo surgery, they do so safely.

Following the procedure, recovering patients are closely monitored and cared for by our veterinary nurses in our warm and comfortable kennel area. When your pet is discharged our nurses will discuss the post-operative care required with you, and give written notes to keep for reference.
