Surgical Services
We provide a wide variety of surgical procedures at our clinic including everything from routine spay and neuters, soft-tissue surgeries, C-sections, eye surgeries and orthopedic surgeries, etc. Your pets must be fasted with no food or water for about 12 hours before just like human procedures.

Post surgical operation home nursing and rehabilitative care is often just as important than the procedure itself when it comes to determining the long term success. Always, carefully and diligently follow all post-op home care instructions.
