Our experienced team is equipped to perform a range of surgeries, including mass or tumor removals, wound repairs, and orthopedic procedures, ensuring that your pet receives the comprehensive surgical care they deserve.

Preoperative Assessments for Pet Safety

Before any surgical procedure, we conduct thorough preoperative blood work to identify any underlying issues that may pose a risk during anesthesia. This proactive approach allows us to address potential concerns and tailor our anesthesia protocol to your pet’s unique health profile.

Expert Anesthesia Administration

Ensuring your pet’s safety during surgery is our top priority. We utilize intravenous catheters to facilitate the administration of injectable anesthesia and pain medications. This not only provides immediate access to the vein in case of an emergency but also allows for precise control of anesthesia levels throughout the procedure.

Vigilant Monitoring Throughout Surgery

Your pet’s well-being is closely monitored throughout the entire surgical process. Our team tracks vital signs, including heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygenation (spO2), and temperature. To maintain good body warmth, we employ circulating warm water blankets and BAER huggers, ensuring your pet’s comfort and safety under anesthesia.

Comprehensive Pain Management

Post-surgery, we prioritize your pet’s comfort by providing both in-surgery and take-home pain management. Our commitment to pain control extends beyond the operating room, ensuring that your pet experiences a smooth and comfortable recovery.

Preventing Complications with E-Collars

To prevent complications post-operatively, we strongly recommend the use of inflatable or plastic e-collars. These collars deter your pet from licking or chewing at their incision site(s), reducing the risk of infection and promoting good healing.
