Surgery

Our veteri­nar­i­ans provide many surgi­cal services at our clinic, ranging from routine to advanced proce­dures. Whether it is spaying or neuter­ing, tumor removal, wound repair, or a more advanced proce­dure, our veteri­nary team will take precau­tions to ensure that your pet’s surgery is completed safely and effi­ciently. We perform a phys­i­cal exam and preanes­thetic testing before surgery, monitor your pet during surgery, and provide pain medica­tion during recov­ery. During surgery and other medical proce­dures, our team of veteri­nar­i­ans and regis­tered veteri­nary tech­ni­cians moni­tors all patients to ensure their safety. We monitor every proce­dure, regard­less of whether it’s routine or more advanced. The type of anes­the­sia we use depends on the proce­dure. Some require general anes­the­sia, while others may only call for local anes­the­sia. We contin­u­ously monitor all our patients to keep them as safe as possi­ble during proce­dures that require general anes­the­sia. One of our skilled regis­tered veteri­nary tech­ni­cians will contin­u­ally assess your pet’s heart and respi­ra­tory rate, blood pres­sure, and other vital signs to help prevent any anes­thetic risk. While under anes­the­sia, your pet is NEVER left alone! Since we want to ensure that our patients receive the best possi­ble outcome, we occa­sion­ally refer them to special­ists (board-certi­fied veteri­nary surgeons) to perform complex oper­a­tions when advanced equip­ment or train­ing will be bene­fi­cial. For more specific infor­ma­tion on our surgi­cal services, please make an appoint­ment to consult with one of our veterinarians.
