General Surgery for Pets

Surgical procedures are often a necessary part of your pet’s general health care plan.  At Ark Animal Hospital, we provide the highest quality surgical care, recovery and pain management for your pet. 

Some of the general surgical procedures we perform are:

• Spays
• Neuters
• Emergency surgery (laceration repair, wound repair, foreign object removal)
• Soft tissue/general surgery(growth removal)
• Urinary bladder surgery & stone removal
• Abdominal exploratory surgery
• Oral surgery (tooth extractions)
• Cesarean section

All surgical procedures include the latest monitoring equipment and your pet will be monitored during surgery by trained staff.  We utilize the most up to date advanced sterilization techniques and our fully-trained veterinary and technical staff will monitor your pet before, during and after their surgical procedure. 

Pre-Surgical Care

Prior to surgery, all patients are carefully screened, and anesthetics are specifically tailored to your pet. We recommend pre-surgical blood work so we can evaluate your pet’s kidney, liver and heart function prior to undergoing anesthesia. 

Anesthesia and Patient Monitoring

We utilize the safest, multi-modal anesthesia techniques available and provide the same level of patient monitoring that you would receive if you were having surgery.  We use ECG monitoring during surgery to monitor your pet’s blood pressure, respiration, heart activity, oxygen saturation and temperature.

Pain Management

Your pet’s pain relief is our top priority. At Ark Animal Hospital, we ensure your pet has minimal pain before, during and after surgery. We utilize multiple therapies to control pain so that your pet is as comfortable as possible until they are fully recovered.
