Surgery
The idea of surgical procedures can be stressful for pet owners and at Blakehurst Vets, we take the time to help you reach the decision about whether to go-ahead with surgery for your animal friend.
If surgery is required, our professional surgical team issues your pet with an intravenous line that allows the vet to safely administer medications, including an anaesthetic calculated on your pet's weight and medical condition.
Just like a human surgeon, the veterinary surgeon operates within a sterile field. Our anaesthetic monitoring machine runs continuous ECG, pulse oximetry and respiratory rate measurements. A trained veterinary nurse monitors your pet at all times and stays with them until they are completely awake.
