Elizabeth our chief veterinarian in eye surgery performs a variety of advanced eye surgery including the treatment of corneal injuries, entropion (where the eyelid turns inward), ectropion (where the eyelid turns outward), cherry eye (protrusion of the ciliary membrane), distichiasis (misaligned eyelash that grows inward) and ectopic cilia.

Soft tissue surgery and more
The surgical department at A-Vet also performs a wide range of soft tissue surgical procedures. This includes everything from tumor removal, sterilization, gastrointestinal surgery to more complicated procedures. We ensure that all surgical procedures, regardless of complexity, are performed with the utmost precision and care. Our patients' safety and health are always our priority and we use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure that all operations are carried out in a safe and efficient manner.
Veterinarians and nurses: An invaluable support
Our surgical veterinarians and nurses play a crucial role in the surgical team. They perform clinical examinations and necessary imaging studies before surgery, as well as prepare patients for surgery. During surgery, they monitor the anesthesia and the patient's condition, and they assist with the recovery after the procedure. It is important to us that all animals are in safe hands throughout the process, which is why we monitor patients both before, during, and after the procedure. Patients are closely monitored for pulse, body temperature, respiration, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, and heart rhythm (ECG). All patients are intubated to ensure the supply of oxygen both during and after surgery, which contributes to a safe anesthesia and a good recovery.
Modern operating theatres
A-Vet has two state-of-the-art operating rooms equipped with the latest in monitoring and surgical equipment. This includes a high-quality surgical microscope that is essential for performing precise eye surgery. In addition, we have advanced monitoring equipment that continuously measures vital functions of our patients so that we can react quickly to any changes during the operation. For particularly demanding cases, we also have a ventilator that can breathe for the patient if necessary.
Sterility and hygiene are of utmost importance in our operating rooms and we follow strict protocols to minimize the risk of infections. After each operation, we ensure that the equipment is thoroughly cleaned and sterilized so that everything is ready for the next patient. This helps reduce complications and promotes a faster and safer recovery for our patients.

This ensures that our patients receive treatment that is in line with the highest standards in veterinary medicine.
