Included in our full range of dental services for your pet are a ‘scale and polish’ service and tooth extraction. Dental problems in pets can be painful for them and cause difficulty in chewing and eating.
Dr Garry Edgar has a keen interest in reconstructive surgery for small animals. We can per-form some of the most complicated-looking surgeries thanks to our experience, patience, and skill.
We run a blood test before administering anaesthetic to make sure your pet can properly process and eliminate the anaesthetic drugs. This test can assess if the major organs are functioning correctly and can help in diagnosing any hidden health issues that could put your pet in harm’s way.
More complicated surgeries like orthopaedics are carried out within our sterile theatre suite. In doing this, we can reduce the risk of infection and other factors that might prevent the surgery from producing the desired outcome.
We undertake most surgical procedures that can be conducted by Vets in General Practice. We perform the surgery either in our treatment room or our sterile theatre, depending on how advanced the procedure is.
– We recommend that you sterilise your puppy or kitten between the ages of 5 and 12 months, unless, of course, you intend on breeding them.
Surgeries such as an Arthrotomy or Joint surgery are carried within our sterile theatre suite. Doing so ensures that the risk of infection is minimised. Moreover, it reduces the chances of other factors affecting the outcome of the surgery.
When it comes to anaesthesia, Wembley Veterinary Hospital uses a range of drugs and de-signs each pets’ anaesthetic based on their health and individual needs.
