Pet Surgery
We offer surgical solutions in a clean and safe setting. Most importantly, throughout the operation, our veterinary team can closely monitor each animal’s vital status.
Pet Surgery
Our veterinarians at Healing Care Animal Hospital are trained, skilled, and experienced and offer compassionate care for your pet. Despite the confidence we have in our abilities, we know that surgery can be a lot to take in when it comes to your pet’s surgical needs. This is why we work are to ensure your pet’s procedure goes smoothly and your pet’s recovery is as comfortable as possible.
We know the importance of education when we believe a surgical procedure is necessary for your pet. This is why we want to ensure that we make sure to provide all the information about why we are making our recommendations and what both surgery and recovery entail. We also provide post-operative care information for you and welcome all questions you may have so that you can feel comfortable you are making the right decision.

More About Our Approach to Pet Surgery
Anesthesia and Monitoring
We understand that trusting your pet to anesthesia during surgery can be stressful, and we’re here to provide reassurance and care every step of the way. At Healing Care Animal Hospital, your pet’s safety and well-being are always our top priorities. We use advanced anesthetic administration and monitoring equipment to ensure the highest standards of care. Before surgery, your pet will undergo a thorough examination and pre-surgical blood screening. These results, combined with their medical history, breed, age, and any preexisting conditions, help us develop an anesthesia plan tailored specifically to your pet.
During surgery, your pet will be closely monitored by a trained veterinary assistant. They will carefully track vital signs, including blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature, and oxygen levels, ensuring your pet’s comfort and safety at all times. You can rest assured knowing your pet is in compassionate and capable hands.
Pain Management
Your pet’s comfort matters deeply to us, and we’re committed to minimizing their pain before, during, and after any procedure. At Healing Care Animal Hospital, we recognize that pain can affect more than just physical well-being—it can slow healing, decrease activity, and even alter behavior. That’s why we take a proactive and compassionate approach to pain management.
Using a multimodal pain management plan, we combine medications like local anesthetics, NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), and narcotics to address discomfort from multiple angles. When appropriate, we also incorporate non-drug therapies such as physical therapy, exercise, or acupuncture to further support recovery. Every pet is unique, and we carefully tailor our approach to meet their specific needs. Throughout their care, your pet will be closely monitored by a veterinary assistant or technician to ensure they remain comfortable and supported.
Postoperative Care
We know how much you care about your pet’s recovery, and we’re here to guide you through the process. Before your pet leaves our clinic, we’ll provide detailed instructions on how to care for them at home. These will include everything you need to help them heal comfortably, including tips on managing pain, monitoring for complications, and adjusting their activity levels. If you ever have questions or concerns after your pet’s surgery, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re just a phone call away and happy to provide the support and guidance you need. Together, we’ll ensure your pet’s recovery is as smooth and stress-free as possible.
