ELECTIVE AND NON ELECTIVE
SURGERIES
All surgeries are performed on site.  Elective surgeries (spays/castrations/dental
procedures/mass removals etc) are scheduled usually for Mondays through
Thursdays.  Female animals that have been spayed will spend the night in the
hospital.  Male dogs and cats may go home the same day as their procedure,
depending upon how quickly they recover from anesthesia.  We try to send animals
home the day of their surgical procedures when it is appropriate but there are
times when it is in the animals/owners best interest to have the animal restricted
and monitored in the hospital overnight.

We use inhalant (gas) anesthesia, the exact type of anesthesia used will depend
upon the procedure being performed and your animal's health at the time of
surgery.  Pre-anesthetic blood work can be performed before surgery to help
evaluate your animal's health status and ability to metabolize anesthesia.  In our
surgery we can monitor your pet during anesthesia with a pulse oximeter (blood
oxygen level), EKG (heart monitor), dinamap (blood pressure monitor),
esophageal stethoscope and most importantly the watchful eye of the surgery
technicians.  Electro surgery is also utilized in our hospital.  We recommend
placement of an IV catheter for any animal undergoing anesthesia and surgery to
further protect them as well as providing supplemental hydration while under
anesthesia if warranted.



















Our spay/neuter surgeries include placement of permanent identification of your
pet if you desire (tattoo or microchip).  As well as removal of retained baby teeth,
dewclaws and repair of umbilical hernias if necessary.  Your pet is monitored
overnight if necessary, pain medications and antibiotics are given at time of
surgery and sent home with your pet if necessary.
