Balwyn Veterinary Surgery and Animal Hospital

We are equipped to perform all of the standard surgical procedures your pet is likely to need over the course of their life.

Procedures offered at our Balwyn animal hospital
Our Balwyn veterinary surgery is equipped for a range of procedures including:
This is the most common soft tissue procedure we perform at our animal hospital and it is recommended for cats and dogs of both sexes. Vets on Balwyn recommend de-sexing male and female cats at 12-16 weeks of age, and male and female dogs 6-13 months of age to prevent unwanted litters as well as reduce the likelihood of some health issues later in life.
Vets on Balwyn also offers a range of other soft tissue surgeries including anal gland removal, skin biopsies, ear and oral surgeries as well as abscess removal.
Vets on Balwyn offer a wide range of common orthopedic repair surgeries to treat musculosketal related injuries and health conditions. We enlist the services of Specialist Orthopedic Surgeons for procedures our Veterinary team cannot perform, so your pet can still have access to the services they need in a familiar environment.
Although most standard veterinary surgical procedures have a high success rate, there are still some risks associated with surgery. Many of these risks relate to the anaesthetic which is administered to ensure the comfort of your pet. Pre anesthetic blood testing is one way we can minimise these risks. This optional blood testing service offered to our patients before surgery checks vital organ function and can sometimes pick up on pre-existing conditions which require a modified dose of anaesthesia.
