General surgery: Spays, neuters, and many other common surgeries. All of our surgery patients receive a thorough examination prior to anesthesia and surgery. Pre-anesthetic blood testing, although not required, is available to help us better ascertain your pet's health prior to anesthesia. Vital signs, such as pulse, blood oxygen level, temperature, and blood pressure are monitored closely during the procedure. After the surgery, your pet will be closely watched to assure a smooth, uneventful recovery.
