Veterinary Surgery

Our experienced veterinary team can offer a wide variety of surgical procedures for cats and dogs at our Millbrook clinic, adhering to strict protocols.

During each surgery, a dedicated nurse will administer anaesthesia and continuously monitor your pet using electronic patient monitoring equipment. Your pet will also receive ongoing pain management throughout the procedure.

Post-operative monitoring and pain management are our priorities following surgery. Your vet will thoroughly discuss any steps you will need to take for at-home post-op care.

What to Expect from Surgery

We will never perform a surgical procedure without fully informing you about the surgery, the reason why it has been recommended and any post-operative care your pet will require once they are home. We practice stringent surgical protocols at our clinic.

Surgical Procedures

At Millbrook Valley Animal Hospital, we perform medical and emergency surgeries to help treat diseases and conditions that may affect your pet as well as repair injuries sustained through trauma.

Our Millbrook vets routinely perform the following elective and non-elective surgeries:

The Surgery Process

Surgery can be anxiety-inducing for both pet parents and patients. Please be assured that we will only recommend surgery when it provides your furry companion with the best possible outcome. 

We will ensure that you fully understand why we are recommending surgery and that you are comfortable in moving forward with the surgical procedure.

If your pet requires advanced care, our vets will refer you to a veterinary surgeon, and work closely with your vet surgeon and ensure that your pet is well cared for every step of the way. 

Surgical protocols at our clinic include:

Pre-surgical assessments. Our vets will confirm the specifics of the procedure, complete a physical examination of the patient, and complete mandatory bloodwork in order to determine if your pet faces any risk of anaesthesia-related complications.

Dedicated surgical suites. Surgeries are only performed in a dedicated surgical suite. We ensure that this room is kept completely sterile at all times to prevent infection and cross-contamination.

Surgical attire. While in the surgical suite our staff will wear disposable caps and masks at all times. Those performing the surgical procedure will also wear sterile gowns and single-use gloves.

Sterile packs and equipment. We carefully clean, sterilize and safely wrap our surgical instruments and equipment prior to every surgery.
