Surgical Procedures

As pet care specialists, we are proud to extend surgical services to our patients. Our skilled physicians and technicians are proficient in a variety of surgical procedures, allowing your pet to obtain precise care. Prior to scheduling surgery, we will discuss all treatment options available to you and your pet. Our goal is to allow you to fully understand the benefits and potential risks of surgery and make an informed decision about your pet’s care. Patients will also need to complete a full physical evaluation and blood work panel to ensure there are no preexisting conditions that could negatively affect pet health when anesthesia is used. Once your pet has cleared their physical exam, surgery can be scheduled.

What does surgery involve?

Surgery for pets is very similar to surgery for humans. During the pre-operative appointment, we’ll discuss all the necessary preparations for surgery. If your pet will be under anesthesia, fasting is required, and we ask that you inform us of any medications your pet is currently taking. We will instruct you on medication dosing, such as insulin, if the medication needs to be taken the day of surgery.
Pain management is a critical aspect of recovery, and we make every effort to provide your pet with superior comfort. If additional post-operative pain management is recommended, we will prescribe medication to ensure your pet’s recovery is as comfortable as possible.
Following surgery, you will receive detailed care instructions for your pet’s recovery. If you have any questions about the procedure or would like to schedule a surgery, please contact our office
