We are a small animal practice in Studley, first established in 1989. We are passionate about animals and our skilled team of vet surgeons and nurses are dedicated to providing the highest quality care for your animals. Because we love animals and strive to provide excellent continuity of care, we are open six days a week and have access to 24-hour emergency care. We also offer free parking for clients at the surgery.

Laparoscopic spays

Here at Acorn Veterinary Centre we are very proud to be able to offer laparoscopic (keyhole) spays.

This procedure is done through two or three tiny incisions in the abdomen rather than a larger abdominal opening and has been proven to reduce postoperative pain by up to 65% compared with traditional surgical spays. The procedure also allows for greater precision. Laparoscopic spays eliminate pain and bruising caused by the pulling of tissue associated with traditional spays.

The main benefits of keyhole surgery are:

Less post-operative pain and discomfort
Halves the recovery time compared to a traditional spay
Two or three smaller incisions rather than one larger incision
Less risk of complications and infections
