Desexing
Desexing is a day procedure. Your pet will be dropped off in the morning and have surgery under a general anaesthetic. They usually are ready to go home by mid-afternoon for some TLC! The stitches are then removed 10 days later at the vet clinic, at a free follow up visit.

At Chatswood Veterinary Clinic, our approach to veterinary care distinguishes us from others through several key practices:
Personalized Consultation
Prior to any surgical procedure, a veterinary surgeon will have a consultation with both you and your pet. This allows us to discuss the procedure in detail, address any concerns you may have, and ensure that you are fully informed and comfortable with the process.
Comprehensive Preoperative Assessment
We prioritize the safety and well-being of your pet by conducting pre-anesthetic blood tests. These tests help maximize safety during surgery and can detect any underlying health conditions that may affect the procedure.
Interoperative Monitoring
While your pet is under general anesthesia, they receive intravenous fluids and undergo extensive monitoring of vital signs such as heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure. This monitoring is performed by qualified veterinary nurses to ensure your pet’s stability throughout the procedure.
Experienced Veterinary Surgeons
Our team consists of experienced veterinary surgeons who can perform surgeries efficiently while minimizing surgical trauma. Their expertise ensures that your pet receives high-quality care with reduced risk.
Pain Management
We prioritize your pet’s comfort by providing pre- and post-operative pain relief. This helps alleviate discomfort and promotes a smoother recovery process.
Postoperative Care and Support
After the surgery, your pet will receive a free post-operative consultation. Additionally, there is no charge for suture removal if required. We also offer nutritional advice during the post-operative check to support your pet’s overall health and well-being.
Our commitment to gold standard veterinary care sets us apart, as we strive to provide comprehensive and compassionate services tailored to the individual needs of each pet and their owner.
