What is the minor operating theatre?
The minor operating theatre is where our vets carry out minor surgery on our pet patients. The types of operations may include the removal of a small lump or stitching a wound.

Case Study
Leo
PDSA vets saved the life of Leo the Labrador after performing emergency surgery to remove three socks from his stomach!
Leo had already undergone surgery to remove a bone which had become lodged in his rectum. Then just a few months later he became unwell again, Senior Vet Ian could feel something in his abdomen so the team took him straight into theatre where they found the socks blocking his bowel.
Luckily, Leo's made a full recovery now and his owners have vowed to keep a closer eye on the greedy pooch!
