Whether you’re a pet owner or a referring vet, we’re here to deliver expert care.
What is Soft Tissue Surgery for Pets?
Soft tissue surgery involves operations on organs, skin, and other non-bony structures. These procedures can treat breathing difficulties, chronic infections, internal injuries, and more. Our team uses modern techniques and equipment to ensure the best possible outcomes for your pet.
Our Soft Tissue Surgery Services
We offer a comprehensive range of soft tissue surgeries for dogs and cats, including:
BOAS Surgery for Brachycephalic Breeds: Flat-faced breeds like Bulldogs and Pugs often suffer from Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS). Our BOAS surgery improves airflow and reduces breathing difficulties.
TECA Surgery (Total Ear Canal Ablation): For pets with severe, chronic ear infections that no longer respond to medical treatment or growths affecting the ear canal, TECA surgery can provide lasting relief.
Abdominal Surgery for Pets: From foreign body removal to portosystemic shunts, liver tumours and bladder surgery, our surgeons perform a variety of abdominal procedures with precision and care.
Thoracic Surgery for Dogs and Cats: We provide advanced thoracic surgery for conditions affecting the chest cavity, including lung and heart-related issues.
Reconstructive Surgery for Pets: Ideal for repairing wounds, skin defects, or after tumour removal, helping restore function and appearance.
And many other procedures – please contact us if there is a surgical procedure you would like to discuss.
