General Surgery

Dr David Williams doing surgery

Our vets Stephen and Adam, undertake all routine surgery with pets returning home the same day. Additional surgical expertise is provided at York Street by the consultants Grant, David, John, Martin and Erin. Overnight hospitalisation is rarely needed but when it is it is provided by Veteris in Shoreditch.

Surgery on elderly pets

The anaesthetics and drugs we use during surgery together with the methods we use to monitor vital signs are comparable to those used for us when we have hospital operations. Continuous monitoring includes blood pressure, electrocardiogram, oxygen saturation, carbon dioxide levels, and ventilation. With the skill of our staff, it is ‘normal’ for us to successfully operate on very old, very sick animals that have a multitude of medical problems. While we never take the administration of a general anaesthetic casually, anaesthetic complications are rare despite the sometimes severe nature of the problems we manage.

In my view leaders in their profession. They are highly skilled, caring, understanding and efficient. They gave repeated support during our dog’s recent illness, although, at her age of 14, it was terminal
