Surgical procedures are essential for helping our beloved pets lead healthier, happier lives. We want to ensure the best care for them, so always consult with on of our caring veterinarians to find the best possible solutions for our pets’ specific needs. Here are some of the services we offer:
Spaying and neutering are common surgical procedures veterinarians perform to sterilize our pets. Spaying involves the removal of the ovaries and uterus in female animals, while neutering involves the removal of the testes in male animals. These procedures are important for controlling the pet population and have health and behavioral benefits for our pets. The surgeries are routine and are typically done under general anesthesia, with pets able to return home the same day. It’s a relatively quick and safe procedure that can have long-lasting positive effects on the health and behavior of our pets.
When it comes to masses, lumps, and tumors, surgical removal is often necessary to address any discomfort, prevent further complications, and ensure our pets’ continued health.
For large and deep-chested dog breeds, gastropexy is a preventive measure to reduce the risk of gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV), a life-threatening condition. This surgery aims to keep our pets healthy and happy by reducing the risk of bloating.
Injuries to the CCL can be distressing for our pets, affecting their mobility and causing discomfort. Through surgeries like extracapsular repair, we strive to restore stability to their knee joints, helping them lead happier, more comfortable lives.
Entropion, where the eyelid rolls inward causing the eyelashes to rub on the eye, can be uncomfortable and damaging for our pet’s eyes. The surgical correction involves delicate modifications to the eyelid, safeguarding our pet’s eyes from irritation and injury, and ensuring their well-being.
Our curious furry friends may sometimes ingest foreign objects, which can lead to serious complications. Surgical intervention becomes necessary to remove these objects and keep our pets out of harm’s way, ensuring their safety and health.
In cases of severe injury or irreparable limb deformities, amputation may be recommended to alleviate pain and improve our pet’s quality of life. Our resilient pets adapt remarkably well to life post-amputation, continuing to bring joy into our lives.
Hip joint diseases such as hip dysplasia can be challenging for our pets, but with a femoral head ostectomy, we aim to alleviate their pain and improve their mobility, helping them stay active and comfortable.
Some of our furry companions, especially brachycephalic breeds, face respiratory difficulties due to narrowed nasal openings. We can help improve their breathing and alleviate their respiratory distress with a gentle procedure to widen their nasal openings.
A cystotomy involves creating an opening into the urinary bladder, often necessary to remove bladder stones, address urinary obstructions, or repair bladder injuries, ensuring our pets’ urinary health.
For male cats facing urinary blockages or strictures, perineal urethrostomy creates a new opening for the urethra, improving their urinary flow and helping prevent future urinary obstructions, ensuring their comfort and well-being.
Ligasure is an advanced surgical device that uses energy to seal blood vessels during surgery, reducing blood loss and operative time. It is often used in minimally invasive procedures and traditional open surgeries. The device works by fusing and dividing tissue, and it has been shown to effectively seal vessels up to and including 7mm in diameter. Ligasure technology has been praised for its ability to minimize thermal spread and provide precise tissue sealing, contributing to improved patient outcomes and faster recovery times.
Endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that helps us diagnose issues, retrieve foreign bodies, and perform minimally invasive surgeries. It’s a wonderful tool in our quest to take the best care possible of our furry friends.
