Soft Tissue Surgery Service
The highly skilled Soft Tissue team at Davies Veterinary Specialists comprises Jonathan
Bray, Carolyn Burton and Ronan
Doyle providing consultations on an alternate day basis and are both extensively trained and experienced in all aspects
of soft tissue surgery.
The Soft Tissue Surgery Service at Davies Veterinary Specialists accepts the full spectrum of general surgery cases referred
by general practitioners, as well as having a pivotal role in the management of cases admitted via other services within the
practice. The integration of many of Davies Veterinary Specialists’ services in this way ensures extremely high standards
of case management.
Soft tissue surgery is a varied discipline and includes the majority of surgical procedures which do not fall under the remit
of orthopaedic surgery. Areas covered include ear, nose and throat, cardiothoracic, hepatic, gastrointestinal, urogenital,
skin reconstructive and oncological surgeries.
Many cases are seen by the soft tissue surgeons for an initial consultation and subsequent discussion of further investigation
and treatment requirements, while other cases are transferred to the service ‘in house’ from clinicians from other
disciplines.
Following the consultation, animals are usually admitted for treatment, although in some cases investigations may be scheduled
for admission at a future date. After any diagnostic or surgical procedures, animals stay at Davies Veterinary Specialists
until the clinicians are satisfied with their recovery.
Both Carolyn and Jon are regularly contacted for telephone advice from veterinary general practitioners and are happy to
discuss cases over the telephone.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to discuss cases directly with owners before their animal is
seen for an initial consultation.
