Soft Tissue Surgery
Soft tissue specialists
Veterinary soft tissue surgery refers to the treatment of any conditions that affect the organs, such as the heart, lungs, liver, skin and muscles. It can also include reconstructive surgery, urinary incontinence and wound management.
Our soft tissue surgeons are some of the most experienced in the profession, ready to take on even the most complex of cases and work towards the best possible outcome.
Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) is the name for a group of airway conditions and abnormalities that occur in short-nosed dogs.
In most cases a perineal hernia will require surgery to fix. This will often be combined with castration in order to remove the risk of it reoccurring.
Otitis is an extremely common condition in cats and dogs that causes inflammation in the ear.
A portosystemic shunt (PSS), also known as a liver shunt, occurs when an abnormal vessel forms causing blood to shunt, or bypass, the liver.
Salivary mucocele in dogs & cats is a painless swelling caused by the leaking of saliva into the soft tissue around damaged salivary glands & ducts.

I couldn’t be happier with the treatment Luna received from Don and the team. She had excellent care during her few days there and I think she enjoyed all the fuss – and now she’s home we can’t keep her still!
