Our veterinary surgery team in Ypsilanti perform a wide variety of surgical procedures on dogs and cats who require them. These range from soft tissue and dental surgeries to c-sections mand oncological surgeries.
Veterinary Surgery
We offer an extensive range of surgical services for dogs and cats in the Ypsilanti area at our animal hospital. We use advanced surgical techniques and stringent surgical protocols to do so.
During each surgery, a dedicated nurse will administer anesthesia and continuously monitor your pet using electronic patient monitoring equipment. Pain management will also be provided.
After the procedure is done, pain management and patient monitoring are our priorities. Your vet will also make surer to provide your instructions about the appropriate at-home care you should be providing your pet with.
What to Expect from Vet Surgery
We will always keep you fully informed about why we are recommending surgery for your pet as well as any post-operative care you will have to provide them once they return home. We always practice stringent surgical safety protocols at our clinic.
The Veterinary Surgery Process
We know that the idea of bringing your pet in for veterinary surgery can be a frightening one. We want to assure you, however, that we only recommend surgery for your cat or dog when it is in their best interests.
We will ensure that you fully understand why we are recommending surgery, and that you are comfortable making the decision to move ahead.
If your pet requires advanced care that we are unable to provide, our vets will be more than happy to refer you to a veterinary surgeon near Ypsilanti and work closely with them in order to provide the best possible care to your beloved pet.
Surgical protocols at our clinic include:
Pre-surgical assessments. We will go over the specifics of the procedure for your pet as well as conduct a physical examination of the patient. We will make sure blood tests have been completed and reviewed by our vets in order to ensure that your pet doesn't' face any risks of anesthesia-related complications.
Dedicated surgical suites. Surgeries are performed in a dedicated surgical suite. This room is kept completely sterile to prevent infection and cross-contamination.
Surgical attire. Our staff wear disposable caps and masks at all times when they are in the surgical suite. Those involved in the procedure itself will also wear sterile gowns and single-use gloves.
Sterile packs and equipment. We carefully clean, sterilize and wrap our surgical instruments and equipment prior to every surgery.
