Surgery

Soft tissue surgery

Our clinic performs a wide range of soft tissue surgical procedures: spays and neutering, caesarean sections, tumour removals, foreign body surgery (from stomach or intestines), urinary stone surgery, splenectomies, and eye and ear operations. Each procedure is individually planned according to the patient's needs.

Orthopaedic surgery

Cruciate ligament repair is the most common orthopaedic procedure in dogs. Our clinic uses two methods: the lateral suture technique stabilises the joint with synthetic support material and is especially suited for small dogs and cats. TTA (tibial tuberosity advancement) permanently alters the knee's biomechanics and is a good option for active and larger dogs. We also perform fracture repairs, amputations, and femoral head resections.

Safe anaesthesia

Anaesthesia safety is close to our hearts. We use inhalation anaesthesia and continuous monitoring: heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, capnography, ECG, and temperature. The clinic has two ventilators and uses a modern balanced anaesthesia protocol. Continuous rate infusion (CRI) pain management ensures steady pain relief during and after surgery.

Pre-operative assessment

Safe surgery starts with a thorough patient assessment. Before the operation, we perform a general examination, take the necessary blood tests (haematology, biochemistry), check liver and kidney function, and in older or high-risk patients also cardiac status and blood pressure. Based on these findings, we design an individual anaesthesia protocol and minimise the risks. For high-risk patients, such as brachycephalic breeds or animals with heart disease, we tailor specific protocols.

Post-operative care and recovery

Recovery begins already in the operating theatre. The patient is actively warmed and pain relief is managed multimodally: opioids, anti-inflammatories, and local anaesthetics together. In recovery, the patient is monitored until fully awake and stable. You will go home with clear instructions on pain relief, exercise restrictions, diet, and wound care. Most patients are discharged the same day. Stitches are removed after 10–14 days.

Pain management and welfare

Pain has no place in post-operative recovery. We use multimodal pain management, combining different drug groups. This allows more effective pain relief with lower doses and reduces side effects. Adequate pain relief speeds up recovery, reduces stress, and lowers the risk of complications — it is both an animal welfare and a medical priority for us.

Book a consultation

If your pet needs a surgical evaluation, book a consultation appointment. We examine the patient, assess the need for procedures, and plan the best treatment approach together with the owner. Treatments are given at the same clinic by familiar veterinarians — your pet does not need to travel elsewhere.
