C5 Vaccination

  - Post-op check-in phone call with one of our experienced nurses.
• These procedures are heavily discounted and do not reflect general surgery costs

Pre-anaesthetic Blood Test

$179

• This is a full 11 point chemistry test plus haematology (cell counts).
• It’s main function is to check for any sign of underlying disease, especially of your pet’s liver and kidneys. These are the organs that metabolise most of our drugs, so if there is an issue, it sometimes means we need to adjust dosages, choose different drugs, or consider whether surgery is best postponed or avoided.
• It also gives a nice baseline, so that if your pet becomes unwell down the track, we know where their levels were sitting when they were well.
• We keep it optional for desexing, as the likelihood of there being an issue in a young, outwardly healthy pet is low, and we don’t believe in adding extra costs if they aren’t necessary.
