Surgery & Diagnostics
Desexing, orthopaedic & soft tissue surgery
In-house X-rays and ultrasound
Sterile theatre and advanced monitoring on-site
Performed and overseen by experienced vet
Caring Paws is equipped with a sterile surgical theatre, advanced imaging, and full patient monitoring — allowing us to perform procedures safely on-site rather than referring elsewhere.
Surgeries are thoughtfully planned and we take a careful, considered approach: if a procedure isn't necessary, we'll tell you. And if it is, we'll explain exactly what's involved so you know what to expect.
What we offer
Desexing
Full pre-surgical assessment, safe anaesthesia protocols, and proper pain management for a smooth recovery.
Dog & cat orthopaedic surgery
Cruciate repairs, fracture management, and complex orthopaedic cases — handled on-site by Dr Jess rather than referred out.
Soft tissue surgery
Lump removals, bladder surgery, wound reconstruction, eye and ear procedures. We'll explain your pet's case in plain language.
Why Caring Paws for surgery
Your surgeon is your vet
Dr Jess performs the surgery and manages the follow-up. There's no handoff between teams — one person knows your pet's case from start to finish.
We won't recommend surgery unless it's needed
If there's a non-surgical option that's genuinely appropriate, we'll tell you. Our job is to give you the full picture, not push a procedure.
On-site theatre and imaging
Everything happens under one roof. That means less travel for your pet, faster results, and a team that already knows them.
What to expect
We know handing your pet over for surgery is stressful. Here's how we make the process as clear and comfortable as possible.
Consultation
We assess your pet, explain what's needed, and answer every question before anything is booked.
Planning
Blood work and any imaging required to make sure your pet is safe to go under anaesthesia.
Surgery Day
Your pet is monitored closely from induction through to recovery. We'll contact you when the procedure is done.
Recovery
Clear take-home instructions, pain relief, and a follow-up appointment to check healing.
