TOP-NOTCH SURGICAL SERVICES
We know that having your pet undergo surgery can be a stressful experience. That’s why we take the time to clearly explain the procedure and answer all of your questions. If pain management is needed, your pet will go home with the appropriate medication, along with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
Surgery Safety
Before any procedure requiring general anesthesia—including comprehensive dental treatments—Dr. Rostykus will conduct a complete physical exam to determine if additional diagnostic testing, such as bloodwork, is needed. Depending on the nature of the procedure, we may also take x-rays, and if there is concern about cancer, an ultrasound may be recommended to assess how far the disease has progressed.
During surgery, we utilize advanced anesthesia monitoring technology to continuously track your pet’s heart rate, oxygen levels, and blood pressure. IV fluids are administered throughout the procedure, and thermal support equipment is used to help maintain your pet’s core body temperature.
Our Procedures
We perform most soft tissue procedures (those not involving bones or joints) in our modern surgical suite. If your pet requires orthopedic surgery, we will refer you to a nearby specialist.
