Pet Surgery

All surgeries are done under sterile conditions, and patient safety is paramount. We offer—and strongly recommend—blood tests prior to any anesthetic procedure to help us assess the benefits and risks of surgery. The blood work tests for abnormalities, such as kidney disease, liver disease, anemia, and diabetes that, may not be found during the pre-surgical exam. For cats that have not already been tested, we recommend screening for Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). These diseases are highly contagious and, when budgets are limited, maybe a more beneficial and prudent blood work option.

Patient safety and comfort is our main priority. Our experienced veterinary anesthesiologists provide skilled pain management during and after all surgical procedures, ensuring your pet recovers quickly and with minimum discomfort. We utilize the safest available anesthetics to provide an extra margin of safety, especially for our older or high-risk patients. Using the most modern equipment, the patient’s vital signs are monitored during all anesthetic procedures.

Our veterinary team will walk you through the entire process, giving you the tools to make informed decisions regarding your pet’s treatment options. We understand surgery is a stressful time for any owner, and we’re available every step of the way to answer questions and put your mind at ease.
