Surgery
Veterinary surgery plays a vital role in restoring your pet’s health and mobility, treating a range of conditions from injuries to illnesses. At Beecroft, we are dedicated to providing the highest standard of veterinary surgical care, utilising advanced techniques and compassionate expertise to ensure the best possible outcome for your companion.
The Beecroft surgery team is headed by Dr Patrick Maguire, a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons.

We understand that it can be worrying when your pet needs veterinary surgery, but rest assured, our team is here to support you and your companion every step of the way. Here is what you can expect if your pet needs surgery:
While age is a factor to consider, many older pets can safely undergo surgery. Our veterinary surgeons will carefully assess your pet’s overall health, including any pre-existing conditions, to determine the risks and benefits of surgery and advise you on the best course of action.
The preparation requirements will differ depending on the type of surgery and the condition of your pet. Our veterinary surgeons will provide specific instructions on how to prepare your pet for surgery, which may include fasting for a certain period before the procedure and withholding certain medications.
In most cases, your pet will need to fast for several hours before surgery to prevent complications with anaesthesia. However, your veterinary surgeon will provide specific instructions regarding fasting and water intake to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort throughout the procedure.
Yes, general anaesthesia is typically used during surgery to keep your pet comfortable and pain-free. Our experienced veterinary team carefully monitors your pet’s vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure their safety.
We prioritise your pet’s comfort and use a multimodal approach to pain management during and after veterinary surgery. This includes using local anaesthetics, pain medications, and, in some cases, nerve blocks. We will also provide pain relief medication for you to administer at home after the surgery if it is required.
Yes, follow-up appointments are essential to monitor your pet’s healing progress, remove sutures if necessary, and address any concerns. However, the frequency of these appointments will depend on the type of surgery and your pet’s individual needs, so your attending veterinary surgeon will advise you accordingly.
The recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery and your pet’s individual factors. For example, a routine spay surgery may require a couple of weeks for recovery, while a more complex orthopaedic procedure could take several months. Your veterinary surgeon will provide a personalised recovery plan and estimated timeline.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved. These can include complications with anaesthesia, infection, or bleeding. However, our passionate veterinary team takes every precaution to minimise these risks and will discuss them with you in detail before the surgery to ensure that you and your pet are comfortable with the procedure.
Depending on the surgery, your pet may benefit from physical therapy or rehabilitation to aid in their recovery and restore their mobility. Our dedicated veterinary rehabilitation team can create a customised plan to help your pet regain strength and mobility to live life to the fullest.
