Our Veterinary Surgery Services
We perform a wide range of surgical procedures at Pet Medical Milsons Point. Our surgical services include:
- Desexing (spaying and neutering): One of the most common veterinary surgical procedures, desexing offers significant health and behavioural benefits for both dogs and cats. We perform desexing procedures routinely and safely, with appropriate pain management and careful monitoring throughout.
- Soft tissue surgery: A broad range of surgical procedures involving the soft tissues of the body, including the skin, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, reproductive system, and other internal organs. Common examples include tumour removals, wound repairs, bladder surgery, and gastrointestinal surgery.
- Mass and tumour removal: Lumps and masses in pets require prompt assessment. Where surgical removal is recommended, our team performs excisions with care, always sending tissue samples for pathological analysis to confirm the diagnosis and ensure complete removal.
- Wound repair and reconstructive surgery: Traumatic injuries, bite wounds, and lacerations requiring surgical repair are managed promptly and skilfully by our team, with a focus on achieving the best possible cosmetic and functional outcome.
- Emergency and urgent surgery: When a pet requires urgent surgical intervention, our team is prepared to act quickly. Please call us immediately if your pet requires emergency veterinary care.
The above list is not exhaustive and recommendations are made based on your pet’s needs. Regardless of surgical complexity, we strive to deliver exceptional care while maintaining the highest level of safety and comfort for your pet.
In cases where specialist surgery is required, we have partnerships in place for visiting specialists to perform surgeries onsite as well as arrangements with specialist hospitals for surgeries to be performed at their facilities.
We are dedicated to ensuring positive surgical outcomes and a great experience for you and your pets.

Frequently Asked Questions About Veterinary Surgeon & Pet Surgery
What is the difference between a veterinary surgeon and a specialist surgeon?
All qualified veterinarians are trained to perform a range of common surgical procedures, including desexing, wound repairs, and soft tissue surgery. A specialist veterinary surgeon is a vet who has completed additional years of postgraduate surgical training and is registered with a specialist college.
Is my pet too old for surgery?
Age alone is not a barrier to surgery. What matters most is your pet’s overall health status. We routinely operate on senior pets who are otherwise healthy, with appropriate pre-anaesthetic workups and monitoring. We will always have an honest conversation with you about the risks and benefits for your individual pet.
How long does recovery from surgery take?
Recovery time varies significantly depending on the type of procedure. Routine desexing in young, healthy animals typically involves 7-10 days of restricted activity. More complex soft tissue surgeries may require two to four weeks or more of convalescence. We will give you a specific recovery timeline and set of instructions at discharge.
How much does pet surgery cost?
Surgical costs vary depending on the procedure, the complexity of the case, and any additional diagnostics or medications required. We will always provide you with a written estimate before proceeding and discuss the options with you. We are transparent about costs and happy to answer any questions you have.
