Surgical management of parts of the body other than the nervous and musculoskeletal system
We’re very proud of our highly skilled veterinary Soft Tissue Surgery team. They are extensively trained and experienced in all aspects of their specialised field.
Your pet may be referred directly to the Soft Tissue Surgery team by your general practice vet, or they may be transferred after initial consultation with another specialist team here at the hospital. Following an initial consultation, pets are usually admitted for treatment, although in some cases investigations may be scheduled for admission at a future date.
Soft Tissue Surgery is a varied discipline and includes the majority of surgical procedures that 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.
After any diagnostic or surgical procedures, your pet will stay here at the hospital until our clinicians are fully satisfied with their recovery.

"Such a lovely place with very caring staff. Ruby's surgeon was fantastic. He explained everything to us and was so caring with Ruby, we can't thank the team enough. Thank you so much for looking after our fur baby."
