Our surgical services cover soft tissue procedures, mass and tumor removal, urological interventions and trauma surgery, among others.
Anesthesia safety
Anesthesia is the part owners worry about most. For every patient we check liver and kidney function with pre-op blood work and select an anesthesia protocol appropriate for age and health status. Vital signs are monitored throughout the procedure.
After the operation
Recovery matters as much as the surgery itself. We manage pain properly and keep your pet under inpatient observation when needed. You'll go home with written care instructions, and we complete the process together through follow-up visits and suture removal.

Frequently asked questions
Why is blood work required before surgery?
Anesthetic drugs are metabolized by the liver and kidneys. Blood work confirms these organs are working properly, minimizing anesthesia risk.
Will my pet stay at the clinic overnight?
It depends on the procedure. Routine operations usually go home the same day; after major surgery we keep patients in our hospitalization unit until they're safely stable.
How long should my pet fast before surgery?
For planned procedures we usually ask for 8–12 hours without food; follow your vet's instructions regarding water. In emergencies we don't wait — safety is managed with other precautions.
What should I watch for at home after surgery?
Three rules matter most: keep the recovery collar on, keep the wound clean and dry, and restrict activity for a few days. You'll get written instructions — and if you notice swelling, discharge, loss of appetite or lethargy, call us any time, day or night.
Is surgery possible for senior pets?
Age by itself is not a barrier; what matters is organ function. We assess with pre-operative blood work and tailor the anesthesia protocol to age and health status.
Do you examine removed masses?
When indicated, we send removed tissue for pathology. The result shapes further treatment and follow-up — and we manage that process together.
