All surgeries requiring strict sterility such as abdominal or orthopedic surgeries are done in the surgical suite.  Only those with appropriate attire are allowed to enter this room.  The suite is maintained in an immaculate condition at all times.

All surgical procedures are performed with the patient under appropriate anesthesia. Pre-anesthesia blood work is routinely done on our patients, especially on all high-risk and geriatric patients.  This allows us to evaluate the internal organ functions, such as kidney and liver functions, and conditions like anemia.  We can adjust the anesthetic protocol and drugs to provide safe, effective anesthesia to your pet.
