Skin Masses/Tumours

Skin mass removal in animals involves surgically removing abnormal growths or masses from the skin. These masses can include tumours, cysts, or other growths that may be benign or malignant. The procedure aims to eliminate the mass and prevent further complications, ensuring the animal's health and well-being. Additional diagnostics, such as histopathology, will cost extra.

Osteosarcoma

Osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer in animals, involves aggressive tumor removal and, in some cases, limb amputation. Treatment may include chemotherapy to manage metastasis. Early detection and intervention are crucial for extending the animal's life and improving their quality of life. Additional diagnostics, such as histopathology, will cost extra.

Mammary gland cancer

Mammary gland cancer in animals necessitates surgical removal of affected mammary tissue, often followed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Early detection and treatment are critical for better prognosis. Spaying female pets before their first heat cycle significantly reduces the risk of developing this cancer. Additional diagnostics, such as histopathology, will cost extra.

Splenic Tumours

Splenic tumour removal in animals entails surgical excision of abnormal growths from the spleen, which may be benign or malignant. The procedure aims to eliminate the tumour, alleviate symptoms, and prevent further complications, promoting the animal's health and quality of life. A blood transfusion will incur an additional charge, while other procedures, such as histopathology, will typically add extra costs.

Anal gland adenocarcinomas

Anal gland adenocarcinomas in animals require surgical excision of cancerous masses from the anal glands. Treatment may also involve chemotherapy or radiation therapy to manage metastasis. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are vital for addressing this aggressive cancer and preserving the animal's health and comfort. Additional diagnostics, such as histopathology, will cost extra.

Ear & nose cancer in white cats

Ear and nose cancer in white cats presents with tumours requiring surgical removal and potentially radiation therapy. Due to their predisposition to sun-induced skin cancer, preventive measures like limiting sun exposure and regular veterinary check-ups are crucial for early detection and treatment. Additional diagnostics, such as histopathology, will cost extra.

Cat Castrate (Orchiectomy)

Bladder stone removal

Surgical removal of bladder stones from the bladder that will not pass by themselves.
Charges related to the diagnosis are extra.

Eye ulcers

A corneal ulcer in pets is a condition where the cornea, the clear outer layer of the eye, develops an open sore. This can be caused by trauma, infection, or lack of tear production. To treat this, a diamond burr debridement is often used. This procedure involves gently removing damaged tissue from the ulcer with a diamond burr to promote healing and prevent further injury.
Medication and sedation will incur extra charges.

Eyelid surgery

Entropion surgery is a corrective procedure for pets experiencing entropion, a condition where the eyelid rolls inward, causing the eyelashes to irritate the cornea. This surgery involves carefully reshaping the eyelid to prevent it from folding inward, thus protecting the eye from scratches and increasing comfort. This surgical intervention helps alleviate pain and prevents further corneal damage or infection.

Cherry Eye

Prolapsed third eyelid gland surgery, using the modified Morgan pocket technique, is a procedure aimed at correcting, rather than removing, the gland of the third eyelid when it becomes displaced. This technique involves creating a pocket in the eyelid to securely reposition and anchor the gland, thus preserving its function and maintaining normal tear production. This surgical approach avoids removal of the gland, preventing dry eye conditions and ensuring the pet's eye health is sustained.

Eyelid Tumours

Meibomian gland tumor surgery in pets involves the removal of tumors that develop in the Meibomian glands, which are located along the edges of the eyelids and are responsible for secreting oils that lubricate the eye. These tumors can range from benign to malignant, and surgical removal is typically recommended to prevent any potential complications, such as discomfort or vision obstruction. The procedure entails careful excision of the affected gland and surrounding tissue to ensure complete removal and minimize the risk of recurrence. Post-surgical care is crucial to monitor healing and maintain the health of the eye.

Tail Amputation

Tail amputation surgery in pets is a procedure performed to remove part or all of a pet's tail. This surgery is typically necessary when the tail is severely injured, infected, or affected by a tumour or other health conditions that compromise the animal's wellbeing. The aim is to alleviate pain, prevent the spread of disease, and improve the overall quality of life. During the procedure, the affected portion of the tail is surgically removed under anaesthesia, and careful attention is given to managing pain and preventing infection during the recovery period.

Medially luxating patella

Medially luxating patella in pets is a common orthopedic condition where the kneecap (patella) dislocates or moves out of its normal position towards the inside (medial side) of the leg. This condition can cause discomfort, limping, and in severe cases, chronic pain and arthritis. It is often seen in smaller breeds of dogs but can occur in larger breeds and cats as well. Surgery typically aims to realign the kneecap to prevent future dislocations and improve the pet’s mobility and quality of life.
Performed by Specialist Surgeon.

Limb Amputations

Limb amputations in pets are surgical procedures performed to remove a limb that may be severely injured, diseased, or causing significant pain. This drastic, yet sometimes necessary, measure is taken to improve the quality of life for pets suffering from conditions such as severe trauma, untreatable infections, or cancer. The procedure involves the removal of the affected limb at an appropriate joint, and post-operative care focuses on pain management, healing, and adaptation to ensure the pet can live a comfortable and functional life with its new physical condition.

Toe Amputation

Toe amputation surgery in pets is a medical procedure performed to remove one or more toes due to severe injury, infection, tumours, or other health issues that cannot be resolved through less invasive treatments. This surgery helps eliminate pain and prevent the spread of infection or disease, contributing to a better quality of life for the pet. The procedure is conducted under anesthesia, and the veterinary surgeon removes the affected toe(s) while ensuring minimal impact on the remaining digits and paw function. Post-operative care includes pain management, infection prevention, and supportive care to assist the pet in adapting to its altered mobility.

Cruciate ligament Repair

Cruciate ligament repair in pets is a surgical procedure used to address a torn cruciate ligament in the knee, which is analogous to the ACL in humans. This injury commonly results in instability, pain, and decreased mobility. Surgery aims to stabilise the knee joint, prevent further joint degeneration, and restore function. Various surgical techniques can be employed depending on the specific case and size of the animal. Post-operative care is crucial and includes physiotherapy and gradual return to activity to ensure a successful recovery and minimise the risk of complications.

Microchipping

Each chip is registered with the Australasian Animal Registry (AAR), the only nationally recognised pet registry in Australia. This service includes a microchip that comes with lifetime registration, ensuring your furry friend can always be identified and returned to you safely. With this one-time investment, gain peace of mind.

Anal Gland Expression

Anal gland expression in pets is a common procedure performed by veterinarians or trained professionals to help dogs and cats that are unable to naturally empty their anal sacs. These glands, located on either side of the anus, can become impacted or infected if not regularly emptied. The expression involves gently squeezing the glands to release the build-up of fluid. This helps prevent discomfort, swelling, and potential infections, maintaining the pet’s hygiene and comfort.

Nail Clip

Includes a FREE dental check.

If your pet becomes anxious or fearful we will recommend sedation.
