Based on what procedures have been performed on your pet, the doctor may recommend; decreased activity, e-collar / bandage placement to prevent licking & chewing of sutures (stitches), small amounts of water/food at a time. Monitor incisions closely for redness, swelling or discharge. Please call the hospital if any of the above is noted. If bandage is placed - monitor closely for slippage / damage, if it becomes wet or any distal extremity swelling is noted. Please call immediately if any of the above is noted.

ABOUT OUR SURGICAL STAFF

Our doctors perform routine and some advanced surgical procedures on a daily basis. Both are surrounded by the latest monitoring equipment and a well trained support staff.

SURGERY FOR LIFE

Even routine orchiectomy and ovariohysterectomies promote wellness and longevity in your family pets. “Spayed” cats/dogs when done at an appropriate age will have a significantly lower percentage of breast cancer and pyometras / infection. “Neutered” cats/dogs will have a significantly lower risk of tumors/cancers & traumatic injury from wandering in search of a mate.

THE ART OF RECOVERY

Post-operative consultations will be done on advanced procedures to address appropriate physical therapy and rehabilitation. Each visit will be tailored to fit your pets individual needs.
