Surgical Services

At Eureka Veterinary Hospital, we understand how stressful it can be when your pet needs surgery. That’s why we take every procedure seriously and approach it with care, precision, and compassion. Our experienced team is committed to ensuring your pet receives the highest standard of surgical and anaesthetic care — every step of the way.

Safe Anaesthesia, Compassionate Monitoring

We prioritise patient safety with every anaesthetic. All surgical patients receive:

• Intraoperative intravenous fluids
• Continuous monitoring by a dedicated veterinary nurse
• Advanced monitoring equipment, including pulse oximetry, capnography (Apalert), and blood pressure monitoring

Our vets and nurses work together to tailor anaesthetic and pain relief protocols for each patient. We use multi-modal pain management to ensure your pet is comfortable throughout their procedure and recovery. Where appropriate, we may also recommend pre-anaesthetic blood testing to help guide clinical decisions.
