General SurgerySurgical Staff

Surgical procedures in our hospital are performed under strict sterility standards. These include sterile patient preparation as well as sterile instruments and the use of caps, masks, gloves, and gowns. All patients undergoing surgical procedures are offered pre-anesthetic blood screening, and all receive a pre-operative ECG screening prior to anesthesia. We constantly monitor the patient’s heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and use pulse oximetry, and patients are given intravenous fluids during their procedure. Surgical patients are given pain medication before, during, and after each procedure for the comfort of the pet.

Speedy laboratory results are essential for treating critical care cases and our on-site hematology and chemistry lab equipment provides quick results. Pre-Anesthetic blood testing is an important part of our pre-surgical workup, and on-site results allow us to immediately assess your pet’s state of internal health, assuring us that they will be a good candidate for surgery.

Pharmacypharmacy

Our on-site pharmacy not only stocks the drugs and medications required to treat your pet’s illness, but also a full range of heartworm, flea and tick prevention products. We also carry vitamins, minerals, nutritional supplements and prescription diets. Any pharmaceuticals that we do not have in stock can usually be ordered for next day delivery.

Preventive health care

We recommend annual physical exams along with blood profiles to help assure that our patients remain healthy. In the event that we detect abnormalities, it allows us to start corrective treatment early in the process.  The medical needs of pets change dramatically as they become senior citizens and our senior wellness program adds “years to their life and life to their years.”
