Our veterinary team is highly trained to perform a wide array of surgical procedures. Notably, Dr. Christine Cassidy brings extensive experience to complex soft-tissue and reconstructive cases, including delicate cosmetic corrections for pets who have experienced trauma or poorly executed procedures elsewhere.
Our core surgical capabilities include:
- Routine Spay & Neuter: Elective surgeries designed to prevent unplanned litters, eliminate undesirable reproductive behaviors, and dramatically reduce the risk of certain cancers later in life.
- Advanced Soft-Tissue Surgery: Specialized procedures including tumor and mass removals, abdominal exploratory surgeries, bladder stone removals (cystotomy), and foreign body removals from the digestive tract.
- Reconstructive & Corrective Procedures: Advanced soft-tissue repairs to resolve functional or cosmetic abnormalities, helping to alleviate chronic discomfort and restore your pet’s quality of life.
- Wound and Trauma Repair: Prompt, careful surgical closure of severe lacerations, bite wounds, and abscesses resulting from sudden accidents or minor trauma.
Safety First: What to Expect on Surgery Day
We treat every surgical patient with the same meticulous care we would give our own pets. Our comprehensive surgical safety protocol is designed to minimize risk and maximize comfort from the moment you check in to the time your pet goes home:
1. Pre-Operative Health Screenings
Before administering any anesthesia, we perform a thorough physical exam and comprehensive pre-anesthetic blood testing. This allows us to assess internal organ function, tailor an anesthetic protocol specific to your pet’s breed and age, and ensure it is safe to proceed.
2. Continuous Intra-Operative Monitoring
While in our surgical suite, your pet is never left alone. A dedicated, highly trained veterinary technician continuously monitors your pet’s vital signs in real time—including heart rate, blood oxygen levels, respiration, temperature, and blood pressure—using advanced physiological monitoring equipment.
3. Multi-Modal Pain Management
We believe in treating pain before it even begins. We utilize a multi-modal pain management philosophy, combining pre-operative sedatives, localized nerve blocks, and post-operative medications. This approach keeps your companion profoundly comfortable, reduces stress, and accelerates the natural healing process.
Transparent Care & Post-Operative Support
When your pet is ready for discharge, our team provides you with clear, detailed, and easy-to-follow recovery instructions. We walk you through medication dosages, wound care, and activity restriction tips to ensure a smooth recovery at home. We are always just a quick phone call away to answer any questions or check in on your pet’s progress.
