Trust and Confidence in Our Surgical Process
Whether performing a routine elective procedure, such as a spay or neuter, or one that is urgent, such as a GI obstruction, we are diligent in our approach to both patient safety and comfort.
We only recommend surgery when it serves a pet’s best interests. Our approach is thorough, and we work hard to ease any fears a pet owner may have.
Necessary Steps
We strive to address any questions or concerns regarding a pet’s surgery prior to their procedure, and an in-depth pre-surgery consultation helps to increase transparency and reduce stress.
Before surgery, we perform a physical exam and pre-anesthesia blood work to make sure your pet can handle anesthesia. We also take into account their medical history, age, and any preexisting conditions to determine the safest steps.
Pre-Op to Post-Op
Our surgical team closely monitors the vitals and well-being of every patient. Taking into account temperature, pulse oximetry, blood pressure, ECG, and a multitude of parameters, we note any abnormalities and intervene accordingly. Pets are kept warm and cozy during their operation. We also take the time to update owners if possible.
Many patients are sent home the same day. Depending on the circumstances, pets may require overnight observation. Post-operative care hinges on tending to the surgical site, reducing the chances of infection, and providing adequate rest. We provide tips for keeping a recovering pet comfortable and safe.
Managing Pain
Proper and effective pain management techniques promote the healing process. To that end, topical and oral medications may be prescribed to enable a quicker recovery. We can help you support your pet’s recovery, and keep their pain symptoms in check.
Spay and Neuter Know-How
Surgical sterilization prevents unwanted litters and has a direct impact on the numbers of homeless pets. In most cases, spaying and neutering is a common component of a pet’s health plan, typically during their first year. However, we can conduct this surgery at any time in a pet’s life.
In addition to reducing behavioral problems, such as aggression, wandering/escape, mounting/humping, spraying, and more, spaying and neutering significantly decreases the risk of cancer and infection in the reproductive organs. This straightforward surgical procedure has an effect on a pet’s lifelong health and wellness.
