Anaesthesia Services

The Anaesthesia Vet provides a range of specialist veterinary services focused on keeping pets safe and comfortable. We offer mobile clinical anaesthesia for pet surgeries at your regular vet clinic, advanced pain management plans for acute or chronic conditions, and compassionate palliative care to support pets with serious illnesses. In addition, our team provides telehealth consultations for pet owners and veterinarians seeking expert anaesthesia or pain management advice. This comprehensive approach ensures pets across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast receive top-tier care without needing to travel to a specialty hospital.

A specialist veterinary anaesthetist brings an extra layer of safety and expertise to your pet’s procedure. Pets with underlying health issues, seniors, or breeds prone to anaesthetic complications (like flat-faced dog breeds) particularly benefit from specialist care. Our anaesthesiologist tailors the anaesthetic plan to your pet’s exact needs and continuously monitors them throughout the procedure, helping to prevent complications in real time. Even for routine surgeries, having a specialist focused solely on anaesthesia – while your regular vet concentrates on the procedure – means an added margin of safety. Many pet owners in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast choose our specialist service to ensure their beloved companions get the safest, most comfortable experience possible.

Modern veterinary anaesthesia is very safe for most pets, especially under the care of a specialist. Every anaesthetic procedure carries some small risk, but our team minimises this with thorough pre-anaesthetic health checks and a customised plan for each pet. During the procedure, we use advanced monitoring equipment (tracking your pet’s heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, oxygen levels, and more) just like in a human hospital. A dedicated specialist remains with your pet from the moment they go under until they are fully awake, adjusting levels as needed to keep them stable. Thanks to these precautions, pets in our care across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast undergo anaesthesia with a high degree of safety and comfort.

Start by talking with your regular veterinarian about involving The Anaesthesia Vet. If specialist anaesthesia or pain management is right for your pet, your vet will contact us and help coordinate the referral. We then work closely with your clinic to schedule our specialist’s visit on the day of your pet’s procedure. Our mobile team brings all the necessary equipment and works alongside your local vet and nurses at your clinic. Your pet stays in their familiar hospital environment while receiving specialist care. Pet owners in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast can also reach out to us directly – we’ll guide you through the process and communicate with your vet to make arrangements.

We are a Brisbane-based mobile service, and we travel to veterinary clinics across South-East Queensland. This includes regular trips to clinics in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast. In other words, whether your pet is in the city or on the coast, they can receive specialist anaesthesia and pain management right at their local vet clinic. Our goal is to bring advanced care to pets in these regions, so families don’t have to deal with long-distance referrals – your pet gets the expert care they need close to home.

Bringing in a specialist anaesthetist usually does involve an additional fee, as you are adding a highly trained expert to your pet’s care team. Your vet can give you an estimate of any extra costs beforehand, so you’ll know what to expect. Most pet owners feel that the added expense is well worth it for the increased safety and comfort provided. A specialist’s involvement means tailored anaesthesia, better pain control, and close monitoring, which can prevent complications and aid a smooth recovery. In the long run, investing in our specialist service can save on potential emergency costs and gives you peace of mind that your pet is receiving the best care possible.
