Our Thorough Surgical Process      

When your pet is exhibiting odd or worrisome symptoms, we understand that getting to the root of their issue should be done swiftly and with care. Our comprehensive process begins by conducting an initial consultation and exam, carefully checking your pet from head to tail. We can provide additional blood testing using our in-house laboratory, with fecal testing referred out. Our detailed findings will help us understand which surgical procedure will meet their needs and conclude if your pet is healthy enough to undergo surgery.  

Once we’ve confirmed that your pet is ready to move forward with treatment, we will begin the surgical process by scheduling a date for surgery. Our doctors will perform any of our soft tissue surgeries that day with a trusted board-certified surgeon available should your pet require complex care, such as orthopedic surgery. Once we’ve completed surgery and you’ve arrived at our office to pick up your pet, we will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help them experience a comfortable and productive recovery period.  

Pet Surgery FAQ

We know that you are a concerned pet parent, and we understand the idea of surgery can be stressful. Rest assured, our friendly and knowledgeable team is ready to address any questions and concerns you have about our process. We are dedicated to communicating all the information you need to make confident and informed decisions on behalf of your pet. Some questions we frequently get asked regarding pet surgery include:    

Can I feed my pet before surgery?

We ask that you refrain from feeding your pet the morning before surgery, as it helps to reduce the chances of regurgitation before or after anesthesia. Furthermore, an empty stomach allows us to obtain clearer diagnostic images should we need to examine the abdomen. 

Why does my pet need a blood test?

 Pre-anesthetic blood testing will help our team determine a variety of factors such as liver and kidney function, protein levels, white blood cell count, and more. Additionally, blood testing is important to help us determine if your pet is healthy enough to safely undergo anesthesia. 

How long will it take for my pet to recover after surgery?

This answer varies depending on a number of factors, such as the severity of the case and the effectiveness of the recovery period. Generally, most wounds heal after two to three weeks of productive recovery. To optimize their recovery period, we recommend your pet rest in a quiet and comfortable environment, removed from distractions.
