Pets, being cherished members of our families, may encounter health issues that require surgical intervention at some point in their lives. Understanding the intricacies and significance of surgical services for pets is crucial in ensuring their continued well-being and vitality.
Comprehensive Surgical Solutions
Veterinary surgical services encompass a wide array of procedures aimed at addressing various health conditions in pets. From routine surgeries like spaying and neutering to more complex procedures such as tumor removals or orthopedic surgeries, these services are designed to restore your pet's health and improve their quality of life.
Expertise and Precision
Entrusting your pet to undergo surgery requires confidence in the veterinary team's expertise. Veterinarians and their skilled staff undergo specialized training to perform surgeries with utmost precision and care. They utilize advanced surgical techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure the best possible outcomes for your furry companions.
Pre-Surgical Evaluation and Care
Before any surgical procedure, a thorough pre-surgical evaluation is conducted. This includes a comprehensive physical examination and, in some cases, diagnostic tests to assess your pet's overall health. Additionally, pre-operative care involves discussions with pet owners to address any concerns and provide guidance on pre-surgery preparations and post-operative care.
Anesthesia and Pain Management
During surgical procedures, the use of anesthesia ensures that pets are comfortable and pain-free. Tailored anesthetic protocols are employed, considering your pet's specific needs and medical history. Moreover, post-operative pain management plans are meticulously designed to alleviate discomfort and promote a smooth recovery process.
Post-Surgery Recovery and Follow-Up
The period following surgery is crucial for your pet's recovery. Veterinary professionals provide attentive post-operative care, monitoring your pet's progress and offering guidance on at-home care routines. Follow-up appointments enable veterinarians to assess healing progress and make any necessary adjustments to ensure your pet's optimal recovery.

Spaying Services
Spaying your pet has many benefits. The procedure, which prevents female animals from becoming pregnant and reproducing, can help your dog or cat live a longer, healthier life. Spaying will not change your pet’s personality.
By spaying your female pet, you’re protecting her against potentially deadly diseases, including bacterial infections, reproductive tract diseases, and several types of cancer. You also won’t have to worry about her going into heat. This means avoiding the mess that often accompanies the heat cycle in female dogs and the pacing and crying that happens with female cats. In addition, spaying your pet will help control the dog and cat overpopulation problem, keeping more animals out of shelters.
Spaying, which involves removing the ovaries and uterus, is a surgical procedure and does need to be performed with the pet under anesthesia. We follow strict protocols and continually monitor your pet’s vital signs to help ensure her safety. Please see the descriptions under Anesthesia and Patient Monitoring for more information on what we do to keep your pet safe.

Neutering your pet has many benefits. The procedure, which prevents male animals from reproducing, can help your dog or cat live a longer, healthier life. Neutering will not change your pet’s personality.
By neutering your pet, you’re reducing or eliminating his risk for prostate and testicular cancer, as well as sexually transmitted diseases. Neutering will also reduce or eliminate undesirable and embarrassing behavior, including roaming, fighting, humping, and spraying. In addition, neutering your pet will help control the dog and cat overpopulation problem, keeping more animals out of shelters.

Soft Tissue Surgery
We perform many types of soft tissue surgeries at our clinic. Soft tissue surgeries are those that are not associated with bone. These surgeries can provide many benefits to pets.
Probably the most common soft tissue surgery performed on pets is the removal of masses, or lumps. Most of these masses, once removed and tested, are found to be benign (nonharmful); however, occasionally they are more serious. Early removal and accurate diagnosis of a lump is necessary to improve the outcome in your pet if the mass is cancerous.
If your dog suffers from frequent ear infections, surgical intervention can reduce their occurrence by improving airflow into the ear canal.
Surgery can also help resolve several problems related to the eyes. Tearing in your pet’s eyes can mean an infection is present or may be a sign that the cornea (outer layer of the eye) has been damaged. Surgery may allow the cornea to heal faster with less scarring, improving your pet’s ability to see. In some pets, the eyelashes may actually damage the cornea. Surgical intervention improves comfort in these pets, reduces the chances of corneal scarring, and enhances the pet’s vision in the long term.
