Why the surgeon matters
Surgery is a skill built on training and repetition. Dr. Farhan Israq holds an MS in Surgery from HSTU and completed clinical training in small animal medicine and surgery at Prince of Songkla University, Thailand — one of Southeast Asia’s leading veterinary schools. You can read more on his profile.
Emergency surgery
Some conditions cannot wait until morning: a stalled labour, pyometra, a deep wound, or a male cat that cannot pass urine. Our phone line is answered day and night — call 01783-121256 and we’ll tell you what to do on the way. See our emergency page for first aid while you travel.
Getting ready for surgery
Your pet should not eat for 8–10 hours before a planned surgery (shorter for very young animals); water is fine until about two hours before. Bring any previous test results and tell us about every medicine or supplement your pet takes.
