Emergency vet care and emergency surgery
When your pet experiences a serious injury or sudden illness, prompt veterinary assessment is essential. As an emergency vet clinic, we provide urgent assessment and emergency surgery for conditions that require immediate treatment.
Our team can diagnose the cause of your pet’s condition, stabilise them where appropriate and discuss the recommended treatment plan before surgery. Every emergency is different, so decisions are based on your pet’s individual condition and clinical findings.
If your pet has suffered significant trauma, is having difficulty breathing, is unable to stand, has persistent vomiting, severe bleeding or another urgent medical concern, contact our clinic immediately. An experienced urgent vet can advise you on the next steps and whether your pet requires immediate attention.
Routine surgical procedures
Routine surgery plays an important role in preventative healthcare and long-term wellbeing. Aberdeen Veterinary Clinic performs a wide range of planned surgical procedures for dogs and cats.
Common procedures include desexing, spaying, neutering, cat desexing, dog desexing and puppy desexing. Every patient receives a pre-operative examination, an individual anaesthetic plan, pain management and careful monitoring throughout the procedure and recovery.
Before surgery, we’ll explain the procedure, expected recovery and home care requirements so you know what to expect when your pet returns home.
Orthopaedic surgery
Some injuries and conditions affect bones, joints, ligaments and movement. Our orthopaedic veterinarian provides assessment and treatment for a range of musculoskeletal conditions affecting dogs and cats.
We perform small animal orthopaedics and manage conditions including cruciate ligament injuries. For dogs with ligament damage, dog TPLO surgery may be recommended to restore stability and improve long-term mobility. If your pet has a dog torn ACL, our veterinary team will assess the injury and discuss the most appropriate treatment options based on your dog’s age, size, activity level and overall health.
Where complex procedures are required, our orthopaedic vet will explain the available surgical options, expected recovery times and rehabilitation recommendations. Our focus is helping every patient return to comfortable movement as safely as possible.
Surgical care from consultation to recovery
Successful surgery involves more than the procedure itself. Every patient receives a thorough pre-operative assessment, personalised anaesthetic monitoring, pain management and post-operative care.
Our veterinarians provide detailed discharge instructions, discuss activity restrictions and arrange follow-up appointments where required. Ongoing communication helps ensure your pet recovers comfortably and safely after surgery.
