Avian & Reptile Surgery
Not every vet operates on birds and reptiles
Avian and reptile anatomy and anaesthesia require specific training most general practices don't have, which is why many clinics refer these cases out. We don't – species-specific technique and monitoring, handled in-house.
Specialist Surgical Services
Species-Specific Soft Tissue Procedures
Surgical technique adapted to the anatomy of birds and reptiles - not generalised from cats and dogs. See the Avian and Reptile pages for species detail.
Monitored Anaesthesia for Exotics
Anaesthetic protocols and continuous monitoring built for the specific risks birds and reptiles carry - not adapted from standard small animal protocols. See our Anaesthesia page for more detail.
What to Expect at Your Visit
Consult
Assessment of your bird or reptile and surgical plan discussed with you - what the procedure involves and what to expect.
Pre-Surgical Screening
Species-appropriate health checks before any procedure - bloodwork and other assessments as indicated.
Procedure Day
Surgery under species-specific monitored anaesthesia with continuous vital monitoring throughout.
Recovery & Discharge
Monitored recovery with discharge once we are satisfied the animal is stable - with aftercare instructions for at home.

Avian and reptile anatomy and anaesthesia require specific training that differs significantly from cats and dogs – not something every general practice has. We handle these cases in-house rather than referring elsewhere.
It requires different, species-specific protocols rather than standard cat and dog anaesthesia – which is why we use monitored anaesthesia designed specifically for these species. See our Anaesthesia page for more detail on how we approach this.
Mass removal, wound repair, and GI foreign body removal type procedures – the same categories covered on our Soft Tissue Surgery page, adapted for avian and reptile anatomy rather than generalised from cats and dogs.
Recovery criteria and monitoring are specific to the species – what is normal for a bird differs from a reptile. We monitor until we are satisfied the animal is stable before discharge, and provide species-appropriate aftercare instructions.
Yes – if your bird or reptile needs urgent surgical intervention, contact us promptly. For our broader emergency services, see the Emergency Treatment page.
