Our goal at the MVSC surgery department is to provide the highest standard of care for surgical patients. Importantly, we interact with specialists in other disciplines to provide comprehensive specialist involvement in patient care. We offer a personalised service where communication with the surgeon is available from the initial consultation, immediately after the surgery, during the recovery period, and at the discharge appointment. We do not simply perform the surgery and move on. We provide consistent follow-ups until the surgical problem is resolved.

All surgical procedures are communicated to the referring veterinarian via a telephone call, an emailed/faxed report, and a mailed report. All the nurses in the surgery department are well-trained, caring, compassionate and will make your pet’s stay at the centre as comfortable as possible for both you and your pet.

During the initial consultation, your pet will be examined by one of our specialist surgeons and the relevant history, laboratory work and x-rays from your referring veterinarian will be assessed. If further investigations are required, these can usually be performed at the time of the initial appointment. One of our surgeons will then discuss your pet’s problem, and a surgical treatment plan will be formulated. The risks, possible complications, success rates and costs of the surgical procedures will then be discussed to ensure you are able to make a well-informed decision regarding your pet’s care. Our specialist surgeons are on-call for emergency surgeries should the need arise.
