Additional Information
SEAH has a team of experienced nursing and veterinary staff, performing up to 6-8 surgeries each day of a very wide range of pets in Melbourne. All patients receive pain relief and antibiotics (nsaids and opiates). Pre-anaesthetic blood testing is also performed where recommended and agreed to by clients to check the pets underlying medical health prior to surgery.
IV (intravenous) or SC (subcutaneous) fluids are provided, as recommended, for most surgeries to support cardiac (heart) and renal (kidney) function during procedures. Induction of anaesthesia is performed in pocket pets and cats and some small dogs using Isoflurane in Oxygen by mask – this provides rapid induction and allows the pet to be breathing 100% oxygen from the start of the induction process.
Use of this technique prevents apnoea episodes (where a pet stops breathing) during induction, and makes the procedure much safer, particularly in our older cats and pocket pets. Anaesthesia is maintained using Isoflurane in Oxygen – this is the same anaesthetic regime in human hospitals. Patients are placed on heating pads during procedures and are recovered on heating pads after the procedure/anaesthesia is finished, prior to being placed back into their cage once they have recovered.

Cats from the same family can be boarded with each other or separately. Special foods, provided by owners, can be fed.

Bedding is “Dry Bed”, a special bedding material that is quick drying on top to keep their cage dry if they have an accident/fail to use their litter tray. Litter material is changed up to twice daily and bedding is changed daily. Some free exercise in the room is often provided by our nursing team during cleaning of their cages.
