Before any invasive procedure, we strongly recommend pre-anaesthetic blood testing using our in-house pathology services. This allows us to check your pet’s organ function (especially liver and kidneys) immediately before anesthesia to identify any underlying risks and tailor a plan specifically for your pet.
Surgery may be required where breeds can suffer from Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS). This is a collection of anatomical issues, such as narrow nostrils and an elongated soft palate, that can severely restrict their breathing.
The most common seasonal issue we see requiring surgery is grass seed penetration.
