Pet Surgery

We offer blood work and place intravenous catheters for all surgeries, use heart and blood oxygen measuring equipment during the procedure, and always have an anesthesia technician with your pet during the procedure. Your pet will be kept warm while here and monitored closely until he/she is ready to go home.

We manage pain throughout their stay here as well as when they come home to be with you, and we will discuss home care thoroughly so you can feel comfortable caring for your recovering pet at home.

We now offer in-clinic fracture repairs that require plates, as well as a specialist that is available on select dates for other bone or joint surgeries. A consultation with our doctor will start the process if your pet needs orthopedic surgery. Please call us for more information – please be aware we cannot do estimates for orthopedic surgeries over the phone.

We use a surgical laser for some procedures to reduce bleeding. Some surgeries are routinely done with the laser scalpel, which promotes faster healing and reduces post-operative bleeding. The laser can also be used during procedures that are in areas that may bleed more during the surgery, such as mass removals or certain dental procedures.

If you are interested in how the laser scalpel can benefit your pet’s situation, please ask our doctors while you are here for your pet’s exam.

We offer microchip implantation to permanently identify your pet just in case he/she gets lost or stolen. The tiny capsule is implanted under your pet’s skin so the assigned number can be scanned and traced back to you, to get your pet back home safe. Registration of our microchip is easy and free through the manufacturer’s website.

We always scan pets before placing chips to be sure they don’t already have one. If you had a chip placed in your pet in the past that was never registered we can help you through the registration process – an unregistered microchip may prevent you from getting your pet back!

Every pet coming in for the first time that was “found” or “stray” is scanned to confirm the presence of a microchip so that if there is one we can locate the owner and get them home!
