Surgical Care Built Around Your Pet
No two pets are exactly alike, which is why we do not treat surgery as a one-size-fits-all process. Before a procedure begins, one of our veterinarians examines your pet and reviews their health, age, medical history, and any factors that could influence anesthesia or recovery.
From there, we customize the anesthetic and pain management plan to match your pet’s individual needs. Our trained veterinary technicians remain closely involved throughout the procedure, monitoring vital signs, charting your pet’s progress, and helping our veterinarian maintain a safe and controlled surgical environment.
Common Pet Surgeries We Perform
Our surgical capabilities cover both routine and more involved procedures, allowing many pets to receive treatment without automatically being referred elsewhere. Depending on your pet’s condition and the veterinarian’s evaluation, available procedures may include:
- Spay and neuter procedures
- Dental cleanings performed under anesthesia
- Tooth extractions
- Laceration repairs
- Mass removals
- Soft palate correction surgery
- Nares surgery to improve nostril openings
- Exploratory surgery
- Various eye surgeries
- Limb amputations
- Cystotomy for bladder stone removal
- Fracture repair
- Cruciate ligament repair
- Patellar luxation repair
- Other surgical procedures based on your pet’s needs
If you do not see your pet’s procedure listed, we encourage you to call our medical team. We can discuss the diagnosis, previous testing, and whether the surgery can be performed at our hospital.
Spay and Neuter Services for Dogs and Cats
Spaying and neutering are among the most common surgeries we perform, but we still approach each case with the same attention we give to more complex procedures. Our spay and neuter in Surprise services include a pre-surgical examination, anesthesia planning, intraoperative monitoring, pain control, and post-operative recovery support, and dental cleanings performed under anesthesia are often paired with the pet dental services we offer.
Sterilization can help prevent unwanted litters and may also reduce the risk of certain reproductive health problems. Because the ideal timing can vary depending on your pet’s species, breed, size, age, and overall health, we recommend discussing the procedure with our veterinarian rather than relying on a single timeline for every pet.
How We Monitor Pets Under Anesthesia
Anesthesia is often one of the biggest concerns owners have before surgery, so we take monitoring seriously from start to finish. During the procedure, our team closely watches your pet’s vital signs and makes adjustments when needed to support a safe and stable experience.
For many procedures, we recommend placing an IV catheter and administering intravenous fluids. IV access allows us to support blood pressure, provide medications quickly if needed, and help your pet remain better hydrated throughout the procedure and early recovery period.
Fluids can also help your pet’s body process anesthetic medications more efficiently after surgery. Once the procedure is complete, our team continues monitoring your pet as they wake up and recover until we are comfortable that they are ready to return home.
Pain Management Before and After Surgery
Comfort is an important part of surgical care, not an afterthought. We use modern pain management strategies for cats and dogs and tailor medications to the type of procedure, your pet’s health, and the amount of discomfort we anticipate.
Managing pain can support a smoother recovery because pets that are more comfortable are generally better able to rest, eat, move appropriately, and return to normal routines. We also provide instructions for medications and activity restrictions at home so you know what to expect after discharge.
Orthopedic and More Advanced Procedures
Some pets require surgery for conditions involving bones, joints, or other more complicated medical problems. Our surgical services may include fracture repairs, cruciate ligament procedures, patellar luxation repair, amputations, exploratory surgery, bladder stone removal, and other procedures based on the individual case, sometimes guided by findings from radiology and imaging.
For brachycephalic dogs, we may also perform procedures such as soft palate correction or nares surgery when indicated. These surgeries can be part of a broader treatment plan for pets experiencing airway-related problems, and our veterinarian will explain whether a procedure is appropriate based on your pet’s symptoms and examination findings.
What to Expect on Surgery Day
We want pet owners to understand what is happening, especially on a day that can naturally feel stressful, particularly if you are a new client visiting us for the first time. Your pet will be examined before surgery, and our team will review the planned procedure, anesthesia, pain control, and any pre-operative testing or instructions that apply.
After surgery, we continue monitoring your pet through anesthesia recovery and watch for signs that they are stable and comfortable enough to go home. At discharge, we explain medications, feeding instructions, incision care, activity limits, and signs that should prompt a call back to our hospital.
