General Veterinary Surgery for Dogs & Cats in Ormeau

When your pet needs surgery, it’s natural to feel anxious — but at My Kind of Vet, you can rest assured that they’re in gentle, experienced, and compassionate hands.

Our team performs a wide range of soft tissue and general surgical procedures in our modern, fear-free clinic using advanced anaesthetic monitoring, tailored pain management, and attentive nursing care.
From routine desexing to more complex soft tissue operations, every step is planned with your pet’s comfort, safety, and emotional wellbeing in mind.

What Veterinary Surgery We Offer

Our surgical services include, but are not limited to:

• Desexing (spay and neuter)

• Lump and tumour removals

• Wound and abscess repair

• Exploratory and biopsy procedures

• Foreign body (obstruction) removal

• Bladder stone surgery

• Gastrointestinal and soft tissue surgery

• Skin and ear procedures

We also work closely with specialist surgeons and referral hospitals, such as Veterinary Specialist Services (VSS) and SASH Gold Coast, when advanced or orthopaedic procedures are required.

This collaborative approach ensures that your pet always receives the highest standard of surgical expertise and ongoing support.

Our Fear-Free Approach to Veterinary Surgery

We understand that surgery can be stressful — for both pets and their owners. That’s why every procedure at My Kind of Vet follows fear-free principles designed to keep your pet calm and comfortable throughout their experience.

Our approach includes:

• Gentle, reassuring handling before and after anaesthesia

• Sedation and premedication plans tailored to your pet’s personality and medical needs

• Comprehensive pain management, including local blocks and multi-modal analgesia

• Warm, soft bedding and quiet recovery spaces

• Constant monitoring by our dedicated nursing team

We also take time to comfort and reassure your pet before induction — we never rush or force them.

Pre-Operative Preparation

Before surgery, we’ll provide you with clear, step-by-step instructions to ensure your pet’s safety and smooth recovery.
This includes fasting guidelines, medication adjustments, and what to bring on the day.

We’ll also answer any questions you have before the procedure so you feel confident and informed about every stage of care.

During any Veterinary Surgery

Your pet’s safety is our top priority.
All surgical patients are monitored closely by trained nurses using modern equipment to track:

• Heart rate

• Blood pressure

• Temperature

• Oxygen and carbon dioxide levels

We use modern anaesthetic agents and fluid therapy to support circulation and maintain hydration during surgery.
Each pet’s anaesthetic and pain control plan is individually tailored to their age, breed, and health condition.

Recovery and Aftercare for Veterinary Surgery

After surgery, your pet is monitored until they’re fully awake and comfortable.
Our team provides gentle reassurance, warmth, and pain relief during recovery — ensuring a calm, smooth transition home.

You’ll receive detailed written instructions, home care tips, and a follow-up plan tailored to your pet’s needs.
We’ll also check in with you after discharge to make sure your pet is healing well and that you feel supported.

For more complex recoveries, our nurse visits and telehealth follow-ups can help monitor healing, change dressings, or adjust medication — all while keeping your pet relaxed and cared for.
