There are many reasons your pet may need surgery, including spay or neuter surgery or surgery for an injury.

Visit us to learn more about the services we offer.
How Pet Surgery Can Help
Our team regularly performs various pet surgeries to help keep our pet patients happy and healthy. Sometimes pet surgery is necessary, such as restoring mobility to one of your pet’s joints after an accident or to stabilize his condition. Sometimes the surgery is elective, such as with spay and neuter. Either way, we will help make sure your pet is safe during and after the procedure so that he can return home with you in good condition.
Consultation
As we talk with you about treatment options, you may receive information regarding surgery, its risks and benefits, and the preparations you should make pre- and post-op. Depending on the urgency of the pet surgery, you will receive instructions on how to prepare in the weeks or days preceding the surgery. Preparations may include:
● Dietary and medication changes
● Pre-surgery bath and grooming (incisions should remain dry post-op)
● Additional testing requirements
● Information to help plan for post-op care
Pre-Operation
Like humans, specific preparations may need to occur in the days leading up to the surgery or the same day. We will provide information regarding what to expect.
Post-Operation
In the days following the surgery, your pet may wear bandages or other devices or have physical or behavioral limitations. We will help you anticipate issues such as:
● Mobility and behavioral issues
● Pain management and medication
● Procedures and arrangements for home care
Of course, each step is individualized based on your pet and the procedure.
