When your pet needs surgery, you want them in experienced and caring hands. At Bundaberg East Vet Hospital, we provide veterinary surgery and anaesthetic care for dogs and cats, with your pet’s safety, comfort and wellbeing at the centre of every procedure.
Surgery can be an important part of keeping your pet healthy, treating an injury or managing an ongoing health condition. At Bundaberg East Vet Hospital, we understand that having your dog or cat undergo surgery can be stressful for both you and your family.
Our veterinary team provides a range of surgical procedures for pets in Bundaberg, with every procedure tailored to the individual animal. Before surgery, we assess your pet’s overall health and discuss the recommended treatment, anaesthetic requirements, potential risks and aftercare with you.
Whether your pet needs a routine procedure or more specialised veterinary surgery, you can have confidence that their comfort and safety are our priorities.
Desexing is one of the most common surgical procedures performed for dogs and cats. Our veterinary team can provide safe and carefully managed desexing procedures for your pet, with appropriate anaesthetic, pain relief and post-operative care.
Desexing can provide important health and behavioural benefits while also helping prevent unwanted litters.
Soft tissue surgery may be recommended to treat a range of conditions affecting your pet’s skin, internal organs, muscles or other soft tissues.
Depending on your pet’s individual needs, this may include procedures such as lump and mass removals, wound treatment or other corrective surgeries. We will discuss the recommended procedure with you before surgery and explain what to expect during recovery.
Dental disease is common in dogs and cats and can have a significant impact on their overall health and quality of life. Some dental conditions require more than a routine examination and may involve dental surgery or tooth extraction.
Our veterinary team can assess your pet’s dental health and recommend appropriate treatment, including professional dental cleaning and surgical procedures where required.
If you notice a new lump, bump or mass on your pet, it is important to have it assessed by a veterinarian. Some growths are harmless, while others may require further investigation or surgical removal.
Where removal is recommended, our veterinary team can discuss the procedure with you and, where appropriate, submit tissue samples for further examination.
Injuries and conditions affecting your pet’s bones, joints, muscles and ligaments may sometimes require surgical treatment.
If your dog or cat has suffered an injury or is showing signs such as limping, difficulty moving, pain or reduced activity, our veterinary team can assess their condition and discuss the most appropriate treatment options.
Anaesthesia is an important part of many veterinary procedures. Before your pet undergoes anaesthesia, we assess their health and consider factors such as their age, size, breed and medical history.
During surgery, your pet is carefully monitored by our veterinary team. We use appropriate anaesthetic and monitoring protocols designed around your pet’s individual needs, with pain management and recovery also forming an important part of their care.
Your pet's surgery begins with a thorough veterinary assessment. We will discuss your pet's symptoms or condition, perform any necessary examinations or diagnostic testing and explain the recommended treatment.
We will also talk you through the procedure, anaesthetic requirements, expected recovery and any questions you may have before you make a decision about your pet's care.
On the day of surgery, your pet is prepared for their procedure and given an appropriate anaesthetic plan based on their individual needs.
Our veterinary team carefully monitors your pet throughout the procedure, while pain management and patient comfort remain important considerations from the beginning of surgery through to recovery.
Once surgery is complete, your pet is monitored as they recover from anaesthesia. Before they go home, we provide you with instructions about medication, activity restrictions, wound care, feeding and follow-up care where required.
We want you to feel confident about caring for your pet once they leave the hospital, and our team can answer any questions you have about their recovery.
