Surgical Services for Pets

When your pet needs surgery, it's crucial to find a practice that can administer both gentle and effective treatment. From routine procedures such as spaying or neutering, to more advanced operations, your pet may need to undergo surgery for any number of reasons. Our team at Deer Park Pet Hospital is trained to give your pet the care and compassion they need to not only successfully make it through the operation but to lead a healthier and happier life when they return from our facilities.

What can I expect during my pet's surgery?

You can expect our team's complete attention when your pet is in the surgical room. Veterinary surgery often requires multiple professionals working together, which is why we make sure your pet's temperature, IV fluids, and anesthesia are constantly monitored and adjusted by a trained technician. Our team works together to communicate potential anomalies that may compromise the efficacy of the surgery. We've found this strategy to be the best possible way to ensure favourable outcomes.

Before the surgery, we use the conclusions from the pre-surgery exam and the accompanying lab work to determine which methods to use during the operation. After the surgery, we design pain management strategies specific to your pet's size, breed, and condition. Our goal is to give you all the advice you need to properly care for your pet from the moment they come home from the surgery. Taking an all-around approach to surgical care is the best path to achieving better pet health, and we want our clients to feel as empowered as we do to help.

How long is recovery after surgery?

This really depends on the type of surgery operated on and your pet, as each recovering time is different. Patients can recover from soft-tissue surgeries within weeks, while more complex procedures may take months for them to fully heal. If you follow some basic recovery instructions, your pet will have a much faster recovery:

• Give them their medication on time
• Restrict activity for the first few days after the surgery
• Prevent licking and scratching of their surgical wound
• Get post-operative rehabilitation if recommended by the vet
