- Minor orthopedic surgery
- General surgery including abdominal explorations and bladder/lower urinary tract surgery

Our surgical services and facilities include:

- Heated surgery tables for greater comfort
- Advanced sterilization techniques
- Digital monitors including ECG and oxygen saturation monitors
- Personalized after-surgery care and pre-anesthetic blood testing
Before any anesthetic procedure or surgery, we will ensure your pet is an acceptable candidate to undergo anesthesia by doing a thorough physical exam and pre-surgical blood testing. During surgery, your pet is closely monitored by a knowledgeable, well-trained technician who is also aided by digital monitoring equipment. IV fluid therapy and thermoregulation is provided for all surgical patients. Comprehensive pain management is utilized before, during and after your pet’s surgical procedure to keep them as comfortable as possible. We will always communicate with you after surgery to keep you fully informed about your pet’s surgery, progress and recovery. Please ask a technician or veterinarian if you have any questions regarding your pet or their surgery.
