We have two dedicated operating theatres on-site for performing all major operations and procedures.
Our theatres are what is known as sterile environments, meaning they are kept as clean as possible. Anyone who enters them must be wearing scrubs and theatre clothing - No normal work or outdoor clothes are allowed - And any patients entering the theatre must be fully prepared for surgery in our preparation area beforehand.
The preparation area (shown below) is where your pet is anaesthetised, and their fur clipped and skin cleaned ready for surgery. This allows us to maintain a high level of sterility within the theatre, greatly reducing the risk of infection to your pet, which is always a major concern during surgery.
The theatres are also equipped with modern anaesthetic monitoring machines, allowing us to have a constant feed of information on your pet's vital signs, including their heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, and the level of oxygen in their bloodstream. This allows us to closely monitor the level of the anaesthesia and ensure your pet gets the best care possible.

"Dirty" procedures, such as draining abscesses and cleaning wounds, are performed in the preparation area. This helps to reduce the risk of introducing infectious agents, such as bacteria, into the theatres. Dentals, also classified as "Dirty" operations as bacteria are released into the air during cleaning and removal of your pet's teeth, are performed in our dedicated Dental area, shown to the right. |
