Soft Tissue Surgeries

Surgeries

Caring for your pets

At Vets of Geelong, our experienced veterinary team is equipped to perform a wide range of soft-tissue surgeries to keep your pet healthy, comfortable, and safe. We understand that needing surgery can be stressful for both pets and owners, which is why we focus on clear communication, compassionate care, and high-quality surgical standards at every step.

Surgical Care for Your Pet

Reproductive & Emergency Procedures

We provide Caesarean sections for whelping animals when complications arise or when assistance is needed to ensure a safe delivery for both mum and her babies.

Tumor and Mass Removal

Our team can assess and remove lumps, bumps, and tumors—whether benign or malignant—to improve comfort, diagnose underlying concerns, and support long-term health.

Foreign Body Removal

Pets are curious by nature. If your pet has swallowed something they shouldn’t have, we can perform intestinal foreign body surgery to safely remove the object and prevent life-threatening complications.

Eye and Ear Surgeries

We offer a variety of procedures to treat chronic ear issues, eyelid abnormalities, and other eye or ear conditions that may cause discomfort or affect your pet’s quality of life.

Laryngeal Paralysis

We are able to surgically manage laryngeal paralysis, a condition that affects the airway and breathing, particularly in older or large-breed dogs.

Emergency Gastric Surgery

Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (GDV or bloat) is a life-threatening emergency. We are equipped to treat this condition promptly with corrective surgery to give your pet the best chance of recovery.

Perineal Hernias

Our team can repair perineal hernias, restoring comfort and function for pets experiencing this painful and often complicated condition.

Customer reviews

See what our clients have to say about their experience with us.

An amazing team of health care professionals. They have provided exceptional care to all of our pets on every occasion. Their professionalism and skills have especially been appreciated in the last few months. Thanks to them one of our cats has survived a snake bite and another one has successfully undergone a necessary and intensive surgery very successfully. This is additional to the ongoing routine care they provide to our other pets. I have the highest regard for the teams at both Geelong West and Highton. Thank you so much for the work that you do and the care that you provide.

Sharon Didone

Repeated amazing experiences at Highton Vet! They have a lovely vet who knows how to treat rabbits (so rare!) and is so loving whenever I take my little bun in. All the staff fawn over her and are just so kind. I’m so thankful to have Highton has our local vet

Breanna Frost

Chanel was taken to emergency care on a Sunday with paralysis of her rear limbs. She had been trampled by a kangaroo but this was not evident at the time. I would like to thank all the loving staff and especially Dr Kate Goodfellow. Expensive scenarios were placed on me but I chose the budget, waiting game, medications, care and follow up phone calls of concern. Thanks For your attention and friendly service. We will be eternally Grateful.

Peter Fitzgerald

Highly recommend Vets of Geelong, will be definitely changing to this practice from now on! After taking my cat Honey that had an eye issue to our regular vet 3-4 times over 3 months with no real resolution, I came here for one appointment and given such good advice, treatment & care. Honey’s eye has now cleared up and not had any flare ups for over a month and she’s loving it!

Elisabeth Dungey

Our main vet Annie has looked after our boy Badger so well along with the rest of the team. They've really brought him so much happiness in his old age. Love the ID tags as well, brilliant idea.

Chloe Drummond

Very happy with the service provided and would highly recommend the Geelong West vet to anyone who needs any form of pet care. Kind and caring staff who take pride in making you and for me my cat feel safe . The after care support is excellent as well.

Craig Smith

Have been to both Highton and Geelong West Veterinary Clinics and both have been outstanding with their friendliness, care and compassion towards both patient and clients. I was very satisfied with the care/treatment my animals received. I just received a follow up letter asking how my Dog is doing and some goodies/vouchers. How lovely

Olivia Addison

Visits to the vet can sometimes be a difficult experience, but Vets of Geelong (Geelong West and Highton) make it that little bit easier. Very friendly staff and welcoming. I really appreciate the follow up calls the next day - a nice bonus touch!

David Keele

Can not recommend more highly. The guys at reception are lovely, and the Vets & nurses really know their stuff. Our pets love them too ❤️ Prices are extremely competitive also, thanks for looking after our little ones!

Anais Nin

What an experience, amazing ♡ From walking in the door...to keeping my best friend in great health. Thanks Vets of Geelong for the level of care, and to Josie and James especially for their genuine care and empathy toward our family. #memorable
