Small Animal Surgery
In addition to routine spay, neuter, mass removals, wound treatment, ophthalmic surgery and ear surgery, we perform laparoscopic (keyhole) procedures at KGVS.
We also have the support of visiting advanced practitioner and specialist surgeons ProVetSurg
to assist with more complex orthopaedic procedures.
