Surgery – Our surgical suite with laminar air flow helps protect your pet during surgery and provides the proper environment for the specialized and highly technical surgeries. The surgery room is equipped with the highest quality instruments, including heart/respiration/EKG/Spo2/BP/temp monitors, variety of temperature control equipment, emergency drugs/equipment, cautery and suction, allowing us to perform many soft tissue surgeries such as ovariohysterectomies (Spays), neuters, tumor removals, cystotomies, abdominal exploratories, Thoracic surgeries, orthopedic surgeries, TPLO surgeries and much more.
We recommend pre-op exam and consultation before any surgery to make the procedure as safe as possible. Your pet may also need pre-surgical blood work and x-rays or other diagnostic procedures to assess the risk factors and choices of anesthetic agents/protocols.
We offer free consultation/exam before all elective surgeries and procedures like spay, neuter & dental services. This can be done on the day of the procedure or any other day before the procedure. Estimates are given at the time of consultation.
Thursday is our spay and neuter clinic, call us for more information.
