Welcome to Australia’s premier surgery and cancer facility,
Southpaws Specialty Surgery for Animals
Our purpose-built facility has been designed to optimally deliver the best in veterinary surgery, veterinary cancer care, ophthalmology, internal medicine and education while creating a friendly and compassionate environment to put pet owners at ease before, during, and after treatment.
Southpaws is thrilled to announce the newest addition to our growing family. We now offer a fully comprehensive ophthalmology service headed up by Dr Allyson Groth. Allyson has come back to Melbourne to join us after recently completing her resident training and board certification in Veterinary Ophthalmology.
At Southpaws, we pride ourselves in excellence, compassion, integrity and experience. You can be assured that we will do everything in our power to achieve a great outcome. All patients have onsite 24-hour monitoring when they are hospitalised. This means that your pet is continually monitored allowing assessment of change in their condition, administration of pain relief, allowing frequent toileting opportunities, ensuring your pet is clean and dry and that any issues are attended to promptly as they occur. We don’t see many after-hours emergencies, meaning that nurses are not distracted from patient care.
Southpaws has Australia’s first deep radiation therapy unit for animals, one of the most advanced 16 slice CT scanner available in Australia for animals, a live sterile-surgery lecture facility, and a dedicated surgical preparation and packaging area. Combine this with highly compassionate and trained nurses with the highest nurse-to-patient ratio in the industry, on-site 24 hour care, and a friendly cafe-style reception area, and Southpaws is second-to-none at delivering optimal veterinary care.
