- IV cannula placed for added safety and fluid access during surgery
- Constant monitoring by our dedicated nursing team using advanced equipment

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When should I desex my pet?
A: Typically at 5–6 months of age, but this depends on breed, behaviour and health. We may recommend delaying until 1 year or more. We’ll help you decide during your pet’s early check-ups at our West Wodonga clinic.
Q: Will desexing affect my pet’s behaviour?
A: Desexing often reduces undesirable behaviours, but your pet’s core personality stays the same—just calmer and less hormone-driven.
Q: Does desexing stop cats from spraying?
A: It helps significantly, especially when done early. If your cat is still spraying, we’ll look at environmental and behavioural triggers.
