Soft Tissue Surgery
Dedicated Care
Whether your pet is undergoing an elective procedure such as a spay or neuter, or a more urgent surgery such as removal of a cancerous mass or emergency abdominal surgery, you can rest assure that they will receive the highest possible level of care with us.
Our patients are evaluated and monitored closely throughout their time in the hospital with us, by both the veterinarian and our dedicated and experienced veterinary technicians, and our surgery suite is fully equipped to meet the needs of our patients undergoing various procedures. Our surgery patients are supported with IV fluids and a heating blanket, while our modern and extensive anesthetic monitoring equipment continuously and accurately measures your pet’s temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, ECG, and blood oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. This equipment, along with continuous one-one-one patient-side monitoring by our veterinary technicians, allows us to provide the utmost safety to our patients undergoing sedation and anesthesia.
Care after surgery doesn’t end after your pet leaves the hospital – our staff will be in touch with you the following morning to ensure your pet is recovering well after surgery, and to address any questions or concerns you may have.
Spaying and Neutering
By spaying your female dog or cat, you’re preventing unwanted pregnancy (and the potential complications associated with pregnancy and delivery), and protecting her from a number of diseases including pyometra (a life-threatening infection of the uterus) and breast cancer, which disproportionately affects unspayed females and females spayed later in life. A spay surgery (ovariohysterectomy) involves removal of the ovaries and uterus, and is performed under general anesthesia with a focus on pain management before, during and after the procedure.
Neutering your male dog or cat reduces the risk of prostatic disease and certain types of cancer. This procedure can also reduce or eliminate undesirable behaviour, including roaming, inter-dog aggression, humping, and spraying. Neutering involves removal of both testicles under general anesthesia, and we prioritize pain management before, during and after the procedure.
By spaying or neutering your pet, you’re also helping to control dog and cat overpopulation, which means keeping more cats and dogs out of shelters.
