What to Expect During Your Pet’s Surgery
We take every precaution to ensure your pet’s procedure is as safe and stress-free as possible. Here are the steps we take to achieve that goal:
-
Personalized & Monitored Anesthesia
No matter how “routine” your pet’s procedure may be, their safety is always our top priority. We use advanced anesthetic protocols and continuously monitor their vital signs throughout the procedure. Also, your pet is never alone, with a dedicated veterinary technician staying by their side from induction to recovery.
-
Pain Management & Post-Op Care
We take a proactive approach to pain management, using multimodal techniques to keep your pet comfortable before, during, and after surgery. Detailed recovery instructions ensure a smooth transition back home, helping your pet heal and get back up on their paws more quickly.
Advanced Pet Surgery Services
Unlike many general practices, we offer a range of specialized surgical procedures, reducing the need for referral to a specialty hospital. Our ability to perform these specialized procedures in-house means less travel, less stress, and more comprehensive care—all from a team that knows and loves your pet.
Some of the advanced surgical procedures we can perform include:
Spays & Neuters
Spaying or neutering your pet helps prevent unwanted litters while also providing long-term health benefits, such as reducing the risk of certain cancers and behavioral issues.
Gastropexy
This life-saving preventative surgery helps protect large- and giant-breed dogs from gastric torsion (bloat), a dangerous condition that can become fatal without intervention.
Splenectomy
If your pet’s spleen becomes diseased or ruptures, surgical removal is often necessary to treat life-threatening conditions such as tumors or internal bleeding.
Amputations
In cases of severe trauma, cancer, or chronic non-healing injuries, limb amputation can significantly improve your pet’s mobility, comfort, and overall quality of life.
Mass Removals
We safely remove tumors, cysts, and other growths to improve your pet’s comfort and health. When necessary, we send the tissue for biopsy to determine if further treatment is needed.
Anal Sacculectomy
For pets suffering from chronic anal gland infections or impactions, we can permanently remove the affected glands to eliminate discomfort and recurring issues.
Enucleation (Eye Removal)
When an eye is severely damaged, diseased, or painful beyond treatment, surgical removal can relieve discomfort and prevent further complications.
Gastrointestinal Foreign Body Removal
If your pet swallows a foreign object, we can perform surgery to safely remove it, preventing dangerous intestinal blockages and other serious health complications.
