We
offer the most advanced surgical techniques and technology
available. In addition to spay and neuter procedures, our
doctors also perform more complicated surgical procedures such
as mass removal, bladder stone removal, abdominal exploratory,
foreign body removal, splenectomy, as well as various orthopedic
surgeries including fracture repair and TPLO to repair a torn
cruciate ligament.
Although many technological advancements have made anesthesia
and surgery very safe for pets, some risks still exist. To
decrease these risks, we require all patients undergo a physical
exam prior to surgery, and also conduct a pre-anesthetic blood
screening before surgery day. This blood panel will help
reduce anesthetic risks by ruling out many internal problems
including clotting disorders, liver and kidney abnormalities,
and anemia. In addition to the examination and blood
screening, we also place an intravenous catheter and administer
fluids to help keep your pet hydrated and maintain blood
pressure during the procedure.
In
addition to constant supervision by the surgery technician, your
pet will also be monitored with state of the art equipment,
including an ECG to monitor heart activity, a non-invasive blood
pressure monitor, and a pulse oximeter which measures heart rate
and oxygen concentration levels. Our surgery suite is also
equipped with heated surgery tables for increased patient
comfort.
