Cat and Dog Surgery

Monier Veterinary Clinic provides a comprehensive range of surgical services for pets, focusing on safety, precision, and compassionate care.

Our experienced team offers routine and advanced surgeries, always prioritising the well-being of your pet. While we perform most procedures in-house, we collaborate with specialists for more complex surgeries to ensure the best possible outcomes.

Types of Surgeries We Perform

Routine Procedures

Including desexing (neutering and spaying).

Soft Tissue Surgery

Such as abdominal surgery, hernia repair, bladder stone removal, anal sac removal, mass removals and biopsies.

Orthopaedic Surgery

Performed with specialist assistance for complex cases, including cruciate ligament repair.

What to expect on Surgery Day

Pre-Surgery Preparation: Clients receive detailed instructions via email or phone, including feeding guidelines and exercise recommendations.
Admission: Your pet will be greeted by our team and admitted by a veterinarian to discuss the procedure and answer any last-minute questions.
Anaesthesia Monitoring: A veterinarian and nurse team closely monitor your pet during surgery using advanced monitoring and anaesthetic equipment.
Pain Management: Every pet goes home with pain relief to ensure a comfortable recovery.
Aftercare: Complimentary post-operative checks are conducted three days and ten days after surgery to monitor healing.

Our goal is to make every surgical procedure as stress-free and safe as possible for both pets and owners.

Rat and Guinea Pig Surgery

We also extend our surgical expertise to pet rats, ensuring the same high standard of care for our smaller furry friends. Lump removals, desexing, cystotomy, mastectomy and enucleation are some of the common surgeries we perform.
