Surgical Care
Safe, skilled surgical care for your pet — from routine procedures to more complex operations, performed with precision and compassion.
Expert Surgery When Your Pet Needs It Most
When your pet requires surgery, you want a team you can trust. At Southtowns Animal Hospital, our veterinarians are experienced in a wide range of surgical procedures and are committed to providing the highest standard of care before, during, and after every operation.
We use modern anesthetic protocols, continuous patient monitoring, and a dedicated surgical suite to ensure your pet's safety throughout every procedure. Our team will walk you through what to expect and keep you informed every step of the way.
Procedures We Perform
Our surgical services cover a broad range of soft tissue and general procedures, including:
What to Expect
Pre-Surgical Consultation
Your veterinarian will perform a physical exam and review your pet's health history. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork is recommended to assess organ function and ensure your pet is a safe candidate for anesthesia. We'll explain the procedure, answer your questions, and provide fasting instructions.
The Procedure
Your pet will be carefully monitored throughout the procedure by our veterinary team. We use modern anesthetic agents and continuous monitoring of heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and temperature to keep your pet safe and comfortable from start to finish.
Recovery & Aftercare
After surgery, your pet will recover in a comfortable, supervised area until they are stable and alert. Patients will go home the same day. We'll provide detailed discharge instructions including activity restrictions, wound care, and medication guidance, and we're always available if you have questions during recovery.
