Dew Claw Removal Adelaide

[Blue Genes]

Hello,I was wondering dose any one know a vet in Adelaide that dose a good job with front dew claw removal.

That removes the entire thumb and stitches the skin when they are finished.

Not just chop it of and leave it.

Please advice if you know who in Adelaide is the best for this job.

Thank you.

Not sure but try adelaide Plains Vet. They do quite a bit of work on feet and toes as they get alot of greyhounds needing surgery on their feet.

My boy had to have them re-done as they were regrowing under the skin - he had them done very nicely at the Brighton Veterinary Hospital, 526 Brighton Road, Brighton 8296 4300.

Also if you are really worried about the surgery, you could ask for a referral to the Adelaide Veterinary Specialist and Referral Centre, where they have a surgeon. They are at 102 Magill Road, Norwood. 8132 0533.

If the dew claws are removed when the puppy is between 3 & 5 days old there is no need for any stitches at all.

For an older dog it is different & requires anaesthetic as well.

If you post which area you want, or where it is convenient for you to get to, it is easier to recommend a vet.

ETA If done properly when they are babies it is rare for them to re grow.
