Pet Surgery
What Makes Laser Surgery Better than Regular Surgery for Pets?
For many surgeries, we’re happy to switch out the scalpel for our surgical laser, which vaporizes the tissue and cauterizes blood vessels and nerve endings. Unlike the scalpel, the laser does not crush and bruise the tissue, and it gives our veterinarians more precision when performing spays, neuters, and other surgeries.
The most important benefits of laser surgery for dogs and cats are:
- Less pain
- Less swelling and bruising
- Lower risk of infection
- Less bleeding during surgery
- Faster healing and recovery times
Maximizing Pet Surgery Safety
To make surgery as safe as possible for our patients, we work hard to minimize any potential risks. To do this, we:
- Examine your pet and perform pre-anesthetic blood work to make sure their organs are healthy and able to process anesthetic
- Place an IV catheter to give your pet IV fluid support during their surgery
- Assign an experienced technician who will monitor your pet’s vitals throughout the entire procedure
- Use the most reliable and up-to-date surgical monitoring equipment to track your pet’s heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, and more
- Provide pain relief medication before, during, and after your pet’s surgery, in addition to post-op laser therapy if needed
