Our services
Surgery
In safe, experienced hands.
Here at The Pines Vet, we offer a complete range of general practice surgical services for your pets. Some of the more common procedures we provide include:
• Wound repair
• Lump removals
• Removal of hind dew claws
• Hernia correction
• Entropion correction (when a pet’s eyelids roll inwards, causing issues such as hair rubbing on the surface of the eye)
• Cherry eye correction (when a gland in the third eyelid becomes exposed)
• Aural haematoma surgery (a common complication of ear infections, where the ear flap fills with blood)
• Gastrointestinal surgery
• Removal of bladder stones
• Surgical biopsies of everything from skin lesions to masses
• Amputations (from toes to legs!)
• Enucleation (removal of the eye)
• Many more!
For all surgical procedures, we need to examine your pet to determine the best treatment. If required, Veterinary Specialist Services is just 10 minutes south for pets needing specialist care.
Orthopaedic surgery
One service we are very excited to offer is orthopaedic surgery, performed by a board-certified specialist surgeon in our very own clinic. Dr Sue Gibbons BVSc FANZCVS of Specialist Surgical Solutions travels to our clinic regularly to perform several different surgeries, the most common being cruciate ligament repair. This allows your pet to have surgery performed by a specialist, with our veterinary and nursing team managing the anaesthetic. We are very grateful to Dr Gibbons for working with us to offer this to our valued clients.
