Surgical Care Built Around Your Pet
Every surgical patient receives a personalized anesthetic and pain management plan. We base each plan on your pet’s age, health status, and procedure type. Before anesthesia, we perform pre-operative blood screening to check organ function and flag any concerns.
This individualized approach, paired with continuous monitoring, is designed to help minimize risk. Our goal is a smooth, comfortable recovery for your pet.
Our Pet Surgery Services
Spaying and Neutering
Spay and neuter surgeries can help reduce the risk of certain cancers and reproductive diseases. They may also support a longer, healthier life for many pets. The recommended age varies by breed, size, and health, so our veterinarians will help you determine the right timing. Procedures include IV fluids, local anesthetic blocks, and multimodal pain control to support recovery.
Dentistry
Periodontal disease is one of the most common conditions in dogs and cats. Left untreated, it can affect the heart, liver, and kidneys. Our dental services include oral exams, professional cleanings, dental radiographs, and extractions when needed. Watch for bad breath, drooling, or difficulty eating as possible signs your pet needs a dental evaluation.
Routine Surgery
Beyond spays and neuters, our surgical services include mass removals and wound or laceration repair. We also provide abscess and hematoma treatment, biopsies, and abdominal exploratory procedures. Our team walks you through the decision-making process and what to expect before, during, and after your pet’s procedure.
Orthopedic Procedures
For musculoskeletal conditions, our veterinary team offers orthopedic surgery. This includes cranial cruciate ligament repair, patellar luxation correction, femoral head ostectomy, and fracture repair. These procedures are performed by Dr. Michelle Powers, a board-certified veterinary surgeon and Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist. She can help you understand options such as TPLO or TTA for cruciate ligament injuries.
What to Expect When Your Pet Has Surgery
Before surgery, we review your pet’s health history and complete pre-operative screening to build a plan specific to them. During the procedure, our team monitors vital signs closely and adjusts pain management as needed. Afterward, we send you home with clear recovery instructions and stay available for questions.
Trust and Expertise in Veterinary Surgery
Dr. Michelle Powers earned board certification from the American College of Veterinary Surgeons. She is also certified through the American College of Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation. Her training includes time at the University of Pennsylvania and Washington State University. Combined with our focus on pre-operative screening and anesthesia planning, your pet’s surgical care is guided by experience and careful preparation.
