Aftercare and Recovery Support
Surgical recovery is a critical part of the healing process. You’ll receive personalised guidance for your pet’s aftercare, including:
- Tailored pain relief and medications

- Post-op checks with our nursing team
- Ongoing support by phone if you have concerns
Our goal is to make the healing process smooth and stress-free for both you and your pet.
Commonly Performed Soft Tissue Surgeries
We offer a range of soft tissue procedures for both routine and urgent cases. Here’s a brief overview of the most common surgeries we perform:
Lump and Mass Removals
Lumps or bumps are often benign, but some may be cancerous or cause discomfort. We surgically remove masses when indicated and may recommend pathology testing to determine their nature.
Laceration Repairs
Accidental cuts or bite wounds require prompt care to reduce infection and support proper healing. We clean, suture, and manage wounds under anaesthetic, especially when deep or contaminated.
Gastrointestinal Surgery
Pets may need surgery for blocked intestines, foreign body removal, or tissue repair. These procedures are performed carefully to restore digestive function and relieve discomfort.
Emergency Wound Management
Injuries from accidents or fights can be serious and require urgent surgical care. We stabilise, clean, and repair wounds, focusing on minimising pain and preventing complications.
Foreign Body Removal
If your pet has swallowed a non-digestible item — such as a toy, bone, or string — surgical intervention may be needed to remove it safely and avoid gastrointestinal damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my pet be under anaesthesia for surgery?
Yes. All surgical procedures are performed under general anaesthesia to ensure your pet is still, comfortable, and unaware of the procedure. We monitor every patient closely using modern equipment to track heart rate, oxygen levels, and more.
Is anaesthesia safe for my pet?
While all anaesthesia carries some risk, we use carefully tailored protocols based on your pet’s age, breed, health, and medical history. Pre-anaesthetic blood tests are available and recommended for many pets, especially seniors or those with known conditions.
How should I prepare my pet for surgery?
We’ll provide specific instructions before the procedure. Typically, food should be withheld from the night before, while water may be allowed up to a few hours prior. Always follow the guidelines we provide based on your pet’s specific needs.
Will my pet be in pain after surgery?
We use multimodal pain relief to manage discomfort effectively. This may include pre-operative medications, injectable pain relief during surgery, and oral medications for use at home. Our goal is to keep your pet as comfortable as possible throughout their recovery.
What should I expect after the surgery?
Your pet may be drowsy or quiet for the first 24 hours. You’ll receive aftercare instructions covering feeding, rest, wound monitoring, and medication schedules. If you have concerns during recovery, our team is always available for support.
How soon can my pet return to normal activity?
This varies by procedure. Most pets need restricted activity for at least 7–10 days, especially if sutures are present. We’ll guide you on how to manage your pet’s activity and when to return for a post-op check.
