Safe Desexing Surgery

We provide desexing surgery for young and mature cats, dogs, rabbits, ferrets, and guinea pigs.

Animals being desexed are admitted to the Clinic on the morning of the day of surgery. The surgery is performed between 11.30 and 2.00 pm, Monday to Friday. We will contact you after the surgery with an update on their progress and recovery, at which time we will arrange a time for you to come and pick them up. Discharge times are generally around 4.30 pm or at a time to suit you.

Cats and dogs need to be fasted before surgery; we ask that you do not feed your pet after 10.00 pm the night before surgery. Water can be given through the night.

Rabbits and Guinea Pigs should not be fasted. These animals need to continue eating, so please bring some of their regular food when you bring them in.

We recommend dogs be desexed around six months of age. Cats can be desexed once they reach at least 1.2 kilos.

Male rabbits can be desexed between 3 and 4 months, and females can be desexed around six months.

Male guinea pigs can be desexed between 3 and 4 months, and females between 6 and 9 months.

Male and female ferrets can be desexed between 6-9 months of age.
