Specialist Anaesthesia

At Melbourne EyeVet, we take the safety and wellbeing of every patient undergoing anaesthesia very seriously. While most patients have routine, uncomplicated anaesthetics, some may benefit from additional specialist care due to their age, health status or individual risk factors. For these patients, we work with specialist veterinary anaesthetists to provide an additional level of expertise and support.

Dr. Mara is a Diplomate of the European College of Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia and a registered veterinary specialist in Australia. She is also a member of the Anaesthesia and Analgesia Chapter of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists.

Mara regularly provides specialist anaesthesia care to our patients on Tuesdays, helping us tailor anaesthetic plans and monitoring to each patient's individual needs.

This additional support can be particularly valuable for higher-risk patients, including geriatric pets and those with underlying conditions such as kidney disease, diabetes, Cushing's disease or heart disease. Our aim is to carefully assess each patient's individual risks and provide the safest possible anaesthetic care.

If you have any questions or concerns about your pet's anaesthetic, please don't hesitate to let our team know. We are always happy to discuss your concerns and help you understand how we can best support your pet.
