At Abbotts Way Veterinary Clinic we perform most surgical procedures. We are well equipped and have a dedicated surgical suite with full facilties.

We have performed a wide range of orthopaedic surgery including complicated fracture repair, triple pelvic osteotomy, cruciate surgery, OCD shoulder surgery, elbow dysplasia surgery, luxating patella surgery.

We are now able to offer a procedure for levelling the tibial plateau which is indicated in most cruciate ruptures in medium to large breed dogs. To read more about this click here.

We also undertake major soft tissue surgery on the chest and abdomen as well as removing large skin cancers where grafts and flaps may be involved.

We also perform radiography for Hip and Elbow scores for both the NZVA scheme and also for Professor Wyburn in Perth
