Spaying and n eutering are very important to prevent unwanted litters, reduce cancer risk, and improve behavior. We recommend this at around 6 months of age, or before the first heat for females.
Before any surgery, we meet with you to discuss options, answer your questions, and explain the benefits and potential risks so you can make an informed, confident decision.
To ensure complete safety, each surgical patient undergoes a physical exam and pre-anesthetic bloodwork. These steps help us identify any underlying health issues and determine the safest anesthetic plan possible. Once cleared, your pet is scheduled for surgery in our fully equipped, sterile veterinary surgery facility.
Comfort and recovery are always our top priorities. We use modern pain management protocols before, during, and after every surgery to ensure your pet’s comfort.
One of the specialized tools we use in our operating suite is the Electrosurgical Unit (ESU). This modern piece of equipment allows our veterinary team to perform precise surgical procedures while enhancing patient safety and comfort.
What is an Electrosurgical Unit?
An electrosurgical unit is a device that uses controlled electrical energy to cut tissue and control bleeding during surgery. Unlike traditional surgical instruments, which rely on manual cutting and cauterization, the ESU enables our veterinarians to achieve both functions simultaneously. This results in cleaner incisions, reduced blood loss, and shorter surgical times.
