- Certain ophthalmic procedures (entropion, cherry eye, enucleations)

At our clinic all surgery patients are monitored by qualified veterinary nurses before, during and after their procedures.
Post-surgery our nurses will ensure that our patients recover smoothly by constantly checking their vital signs, keeping them warm and feeding them a meal before they are sent home.
Most procedures will go home the same day after 15:00, others might need to stay longer and will be discussed with you on the day.
Please feel free to book an appointment with one of our veterinarians to discuss any procedures and to receive a cost estimate.
Please familiarize yourself with our policy regarding procedure bookings.
