At Townsville Veterinary Clinic, we understand that finding out your pet needs surgery can be a stressful experience.
SMALL ANIMAL SURGERY
GENERAL AND SOFT TISSUE SMALL ANIMAL SURGERY IN TOWNSVILLE
Our primary objective is to make the entire surgical process as transparent, safe, and comfortable as possible for both you and your animal companion. Led by a highly experienced clinical team, we focus on delivering precise surgical outcomes backed by meticulous safety protocols.
While we are widely recognised for our high-level specialist equine surgeries, our Aitkenvale clinic is fully equipped to handle a comprehensive range of small animal surgical needs. From routine procedures to complex soft tissue interventions, your pet is supported by decades of combined veterinary experience.
OUR SMALL ANIMAL SURGICAL CAPABILITIES
To maintain the highest standards of safety and sterility, our clinic features a dedicated, purpose-built small animal surgical suite. We provide a range of small animal procedures and work closely with the referral team at James Cook University (JCU Vet) for advanced oncology or complex orthopaedic surgeries.
OUR ROUTINE AND ADVANCED SOFT TISSUE PROCEDURES INCLUDE:
PATIENT SAFETY: ADVANCED PROTOCOLS & ELECTROCAUTERY
Surgical precision directly influences your pet’s recovery time and comfort. To deliver the best possible clinical outcomes, we integrate advanced surgical technology into our operations:
SURGICAL ELECTROCAUTERY
Our surgical suite is equipped with an electrocautery system used for electro-dissection and tissue coagulation.
By utilising a controlled electrical current instead of a traditional scalpel blade for specific cuts, we can instantly seal blood vessels as we operate. This advanced technique significantly reduces intraoperative bleeding, gives our vets a much cleaner surgical view, and minimises post-operative swelling and discomfort for your pet.
COMPREHENSIVE ANAESTHETIC MONITORING
Every surgical patient undergoes a rigorous safety routine:
SAFE AND QUIET RECOVERY SPACES
Once the procedure is complete, the recovery phase is critical to a successful outcome. Stressed or anxious animals require a gentle touch and a quiet environment to wake up safely.
Our clinic offers separate dog and cat recovery spaces within our small animal hospital. By keeping our feline patients separated as much as possible from the sights and smells of dogs, we drastically lower their adrenaline levels and anxiety during the crucial post-operative wake-up period.
Our team provides regular monitoring of your pet during their visit, ensuring you are fully informed of your pet’s progress before they are safely discharged into your care.
If your pet requires an evaluation for a lump removal, general surgery, or a routine procedure, contact Townsville Veterinary Clinic on 07 4779 0233 to discuss a surgical plan with our experienced team.
