Experienced Surgical Care You Can Trust

At Padstow Veterinary Clinic, we understand how stressful it can be when your pet needs surgery. That’s why we’re here to guide you through the process with clarity, compassion, and confidence. With over 30 years of experience, we provide professional surgical care for pets across Padstow, Revesby, Riverwood, Picnic Point, Bankstown, River Point, and Punchbowl.


Whether it’s a routine desexing, a soft tissue procedure, or an urgent issue, your pet is in capable hands. Our clinic is equipped with modern diagnostic tools, in-house pathology, and a dedicated team to monitor your pet every step of the way—from initial consultation to full recovery.


We also partner with trusted orthopaedic specialists for advanced surgical cases, ensuring your pet always receives the highest standard of care.

Minor Surgeries

Many conditions can be treated with minor surgical procedures, often done under day surgery. This includes lump removals, abscess drainage, wound repair, and foreign body removal. These are generally straightforward, but we always take the time to explain what’s involved and ensure your pet is safe and comfortable before, during, and after the surgery.

Major Surgeries

When more involved treatment is required, we offer a range of major surgical services right here in our Padstow clinic. This includes soft tissue surgery, such as:

  • Removal of internal and external growths
  • Bladder stone surgery
  • Gastrointestinal surgery


Knee procedures for issues like a luxating patella


We use modern anaesthetic protocols, provide constant monitoring, and ensure pain relief is carefully managed throughout your pet’s recovery.

Orthopaedic Surgery Referrals

If your pet requires orthopaedic surgery—such as cruciate ligament repair, fracture management, or complex joint issues—we’ll refer you to a trusted veterinary orthopaedic specialist. We’ll work with you through the referral process, explaining what to expect and ensuring a smooth handover of care.

X-rays & Radiology

Accurate diagnosis is key to a successful surgery. Our clinic offers in-house radiology to assess internal structures before proceeding. This includes:

  • X-rays for fractures or injury
  • Checking for tumours or internal issues
  • Pre-surgical planning for soft tissue and bone operations


Having these tools in-house means we can diagnose issues quickly and efficiently, with minimal stress on your pet.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How Do I Know if My Pet Needs Surgery?

    If your pet is in pain, limping, has an unusual lump, or has ongoing digestive or urinary issues, it’s best to book a consult. We’ll assess whether surgery is needed or if other treatment options are available.

  • Is Surgery Safe for Older Pets?

    Yes, with proper presurgical bloodwork and careful monitoring, older pets can safely undergo surgery. We adjust anaesthetic protocols based on age and health.
