Pet Surgery

Safety Is Our Priority

At Chico Creek Animal Hospital, we can perform almost any surgery your cat or your dog could need, or find the right specialist to help with the operation. Our experienced veterinarians provide many surgical services at our clinic, ranging from routine to advanced procedures.

Our veterinary team takes every precaution so that your pet receives the highest-quality care. We perform a physical exam and pre-anesthetic testing before surgery, monitor your pet during surgery, and provide appropriate pain medication to keep your pet comfortable during recovery.

Making sure our patients remain safe during surgery and other medical procedures is extremely important to us. Our team of veterinarians and veterinary technicians is skilled in using anesthesia and monitoring patients to ensure their safety and provide the most comfortable experience. Anesthesia and patient monitoring vary greatly from clinic to clinic. You can be confident that we use the most effective and up-to-date protocols. The type of anesthesia we use depends on the procedure. Some require general anesthesia, while others may only call for local anesthesia. We also closely monitor every procedure, regardless of whether it’s routine or more advanced.

Procedures

Some of the many surgeries routinely performed in our state of the art surgical suite include:

• General Surgery
• Oral Surgery
• Orthopedic Procedures
• Ophthalmic Surgery

After The Surgery

Once your pet’s procedure is complete, we will gently move them to the recovery area of our hospital, where we will continue to monitor them as the anesthesia begins to wear off. A member of our staff will contact you to let you know how the surgery went and arrange a time for you to come retrieve your pet. When you arrive, we’ll go over our aftercare instructions, which may include a customized pain management plan to help make the recovery process as comfortable as possible for your pet.

After returning home with your loved one, should any questions or concerns arise about the surgery or recovery process, please do not hesitate to call us. Help is always just a phone call away!

If you recently learned that your loved one needs surgery, there’s no need to worry. The surgical team at Chico Creek has your back! We’ll have that little guy or gal fixed up and on the path to a full and speedy recovery before you know it!
