General Surgery

In addition to common surgical procedures such as ovariohysterectomy  (spay) and  castration,  we provide experienced orthopedic, soft tissue, laser and radio surgery.

Preparing for your pet's surgery.  Give your pet its normal meal and medication the night before surgery and then withhold all food after 9 pm.  Bring your pet to the hospital at your scheduled time to meet with a certified veterinary technician or veterinarian to answer any last minute questions, address any concerns and sign consent forms.  Don't forget any personal items from home to have placed with your pet.   A discharge appointment to go over home care will be scheduled at this time as well.

What happens during surgery.  After admission, you pet with be examined by a veterinarian and his medical records reviewed.  An anesthetic protocol is created to ensure a safe and smooth surgery and recovery and your pet is given a sedative to alleviate stress.  A breathing tube is placed into the trachea and a general anesthesia  is administered while your pet is prepped for surgery.  Depending on the type of surgery, your pet may be prepped with a short shave, surgical scrub and hooked up to anesthetic monitors.  Oxygen, heart, respiratory rates, and temperature are all monitored for the duration of surgery.  A blanket warmer is placed with your pet to keep him comfortable.  A technician will monitor your pet during the entire procedure, post surgery and throughout the day.  

After care at home.  We keep most of our surgery patients overnight and discharge at your scheduled time the following day.  Keep your pet in a quiet, comfortable, dry, stress free location when he gets home.  Dogs with an incision should be leash walked for 5-7 days post surgery.  At the discharge appointment, you will receive specific instructions depending on your pet's surgical procedure.
