GUIDING YOU THROUGH SURGERY WITH CARE
We understand that any surgery can feel stressful. Our team is here to guide you through the process with clear explanations and thoughtful support.
What is soft tissue surgery?
Soft tissue surgery includes procedures involving the skin, muscles, and internal organs, such as:
- Mass and lump removals
- Wound and laceration repair
- Abdominal procedures (e.g., foreign body removal, exploratory surgery)
- Certain ear, eye, or skin surgeries
When your pet needs a surgical procedure, we’ll talk through why it’s recommended, what the surgery involves, and what you can expect from recovery.
Pre-surgical evaluation
Before soft tissue surgery, we’ll:
- Perform a full physical examination
- Recommend pre-anesthetic blood work to assess organ function
- Review your pet’s health history and current medications
- Discuss any risks and answer your questions
This evaluation helps us tailor anesthesia and pain management to your pet’s individual needs.
During your pet’s surgery
While your pet is under anesthesia, our team:
- Monitors vital signs such as heart rate, breathing, and temperature
- Uses sterile techniques and appropriate surgical equipment
- Provides pain control before, during, and after surgery
We know you’re trusting us with a member of your family, and we take that responsibility seriously.
Recovery, pain management, and follow-up
After surgery, we focus on a smooth, comfortable recovery:
- Your pet is monitored as they wake up from anesthesia
- We provide detailed home care instructions, including activity restrictions and incision care
- Pain medications are prescribed to keep your pet comfortable at home
- A follow-up visit may be scheduled to assess healing and remove sutures if needed
If we send any biopsy samples or lab work related to surgery, we’ll follow up with you as soon as the results are available and discuss the next steps.
