Surgery

Our skilled veterinarians are trained and equipped to perform a variety of veterinary surgeries, including:

• Spay and neuter procedures
• Soft tissue surgery
• Mass or foreign object removal
• Emergency surgery

For more complicated operations such as neurosurgery, orthopedics, or the removal of all or a part of certain organs, board-certified surgical specialists are called in to perform the procedure, or we refer our patients to one of our local specialty hospitals.

Limiting your pet’s pain and stress level before, during, and after surgery is an important part of every surgical procedure. We will provide you with instructions and treatment recommendations based on your pet’s individual health status. In addition to anesthesia during surgery, pain management protocols might include the use of medications to reduce your pets pain and inflammation after surgery

Prior to your pet’s procedure, we will perform a complete physical evaluation of your pet to ensure he or she is healthy enough to safely undergo anesthesia and surgery. Additionally, we will conduct blood tests to ensure the safe selection of anesthetic drugs for the procedure. We will also discuss pre-operative and post-operative instructions for you and your pet to follow leading up to surgery. This might include medication, dietary recommendations, wound care, and activity restrictions. For more information regarding our surgical services or your pet’s pre or post-operative care, you are welcome to contact our office.
