Surgical Care for Your Best Friend

At some point in your pet’s life, they may require surgery. Whether it’s an elective procedure like spaying or neutering or an emergency surgery for an issue such as an intestinal obstruction, you can trust that our team will provide exceptional care for your pet.
 
Our clinic offers a range of surgical services for companion animals, including:
 
  • Routine spay and neuter
  • Dental surgery
  • Tumor removal
  • Abdominal and soft tissue procedures
  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Biopsies

To ensure the best outcome for your pet, we require a physical examination with one of our veterinarians before scheduling any procedure. During this appointment, our staff will explain the entire process, including:

 

Pre-Surgical Testing

We recommend baseline laboratory tests to avoid any unexpected issues on surgery day. Normal blood test results help prevent complications related to anesthesia and surgery, such as excessive bleeding, which can occur with low platelet counts or abnormal clotting. In cases of liver or kidney disease, test results will guide our choice of anesthetic drugs to ensure a smooth recovery.

Fasting Requirements:

Our staff will inform you about any necessary food and water intake restrictions prior to the surgery. Fasting is often required before the procedure.

Day of Surgery Procedures:

From initial intake to sedation and general anesthesia, and through to anesthesia monitoring, the procedure itself, and recovery, our team will explain each step of what will happen once you leave your pet at the hospital.

Discharge and Aftercare:

Depending on the procedure, your pet may be able to go home the same day, or they might need an overnight stay or referral to a 24-hour care facility. The veterinary team will advise you on the best course of action and discuss aftercare instructions and any necessary follow-up appointments.

Our dedicated team is committed to providing the highest level of surgical care to ensure your pet’s health and well-being.
