Pet Surgical Procedures

Anesthesia

Our experienced team takes anesthesia very seriously and utilizes a safe, multi-modal approach for each animal we treat. We use a combination of pre-op assessments, modern anesthetic agents, and the latest anesthetic monitoring equipment to keep your pet safe before, during, and after anesthesia.

Spay & Neuter

Spaying or neutering your pet is an important part of preventive healthcare. These procedures help prevent unplanned litters and reduce the risk of certain reproductive diseases and hormone-related conditions. Our team will discuss the appropriate timing and what to expect before, during, and after surgery to help ensure a safe procedure and smooth recovery for your pet.

Soft Tissue Surgery

Our veterinarians perform a variety of soft tissue surgical procedures involving the skin, body wall, and internal organs. These surgeries may be recommended to address conditions such as masses, foreign bodies, wounds, hernias, or other medical concerns. After a thorough evaluation, we will determine the most appropriate surgical plan for your pet and discuss whether the procedure can be performed in our hospital or if referral is recommended.

CCL Repair

A CCL (cranial cruciate ligament) repair is one of the most common orthopedic surgeries performed in dogs. This type of tear causes instability in the knee joint, which can lead to abnormal movement and arthritis if left untreated. Count on our veterinary team to perform your dog's CCL repair and get them on the road to recovery.

TPLO Surgery

TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) is a surgical procedure used to treat cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) tears in dogs. This procedure stabilizes the knee joint to improve function and reduce pain associated with ligament injury. Our veterinary team carefully evaluates each patient to determine whether TPLO is the most appropriate treatment option and provides comprehensive post-operative care to support a safe recovery and long-term joint health.

Mass Removal

Lumps and masses are common in pets and can vary widely in cause and significance. Surgical removal is often recommended when a mass is growing, causing discomfort, or requires definitive diagnosis. Procedures are performed under general anesthesia to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety. After removal, the tissue is typically submitted for analysis to determine the type of mass and guide any further treatment recommendations.

Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique that allows certain procedures to be performed through small incisions using specialized instruments and a camera. This approach typically results in less tissue trauma, reduced discomfort, and a faster recovery compared to traditional surgery. Your veterinarian will determine whether laparoscopic surgery is an appropriate option based on your pet’s condition and the procedure required.

Laser Surgery

Surgical lasers use a focused beam of light to make precise incisions or remove tissue during certain procedures. Compared to a traditional scalpel, a surgical laser can reduce bleeding and swelling and may improve visualization during surgery. Your veterinarian will determine whether laser technology is appropriate for your pet’s procedure.

Orthopedic Surgery

Our veterinarians perform orthopedic surgeries to address conditions affecting your pet’s bones, joints, and ligaments. These procedures may be recommended to treat injuries such as fractures, ligament tears, joint instability, or certain developmental conditions. After a thorough examination and diagnostic evaluation, we will determine the most appropriate surgical plan to restore function, relieve pain, and support your pet’s recovery.

Dental Surgery

Even with routine dental care, some pets may require dental surgery to address advanced periodontal disease, fractured teeth, oral masses, or other conditions affecting the mouth. Dental procedures are performed under general anesthesia, which allows for a thorough examination and safe, precise treatment.
