We are pleased to now be able to offer Laparoscopic or Keyhole Surgery for neutering female dogs, removal of retained testicles in male dogs and obtaining certain biopsy samples such as liver biopsies. Minimum weight restriction of 10 kg's apply.
Here at Young Vets, we like to be able to provide owners with choice in pet care and treatment where-ever possible, whilst continuing to maintain the highest level of care and service for your pet.
Keyhole surgery requires specialised equipment, additional maintenance costs and a higher level of surgical expertise meaning the cost is unfortunately higher but the benefits to your pet can include >
During keyhole surgery, routinely the ovaries are removed, whereas during a routine spey surgery your pet’s womb (uterus) and ovaries are removed, meaning shortened time that your pet is under anaesthetic. Numerous medical studies have shown that there is no need to remove a healthy womb during keyhole surgery.
When booking a neutering surgery with us, what can you expect?
A pre operation health check provided by one of our experienced veterinary surgeons, ensuring your pet is fit and healthy, ready for the surgery.
The surgery itself, is normally performed around the mid day period, ensuring your pet has plenty of time for recovery in our temperature controlled kennels unit.
Your pet will be home with you the very same evening, with pain killers for a comfortable recovery.
Post operative checks, at approximately 3 and 10 days post surgery.
Post-operative home care - Lead walking, minimal jumping up or on surfaces for 10 days.
FREEDOM and normality!
