Hearing your pet needs surgery can be stressful. Our goal at Memorial Veterinary Hospital is to make the experience as safe, comfortable, and predictable as possible — for both you and your pet.
Whether your pet needs a routine spay or neuter or a more advanced soft-tissue procedure, our veterinarians and support team carefully plan every step, closely monitor anesthesia, and focus on effective pain control so your pet can recover quickly and comfortably.
Your pet’s safety and comfort guide everything we do. Before surgery, we perform a full physical exam and may recommend pre-anesthetic bloodwork or other testing to ensure your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia. During the procedure, advanced monitoring equipment and a dedicated technician track your pet’s heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen, and temperature continuously, allowing our team to respond instantly to even the smallest changes.
After surgery, your pet recovers in a warm, quiet space with close supervision until they’re fully awake. We provide detailed home care instructions, pain management plans, and follow-up support so your pet’s recovery is as smooth and stress-free as possible.
These common procedures help prevent certain cancers, infections, and unwanted behaviors while supporting long-term health.
We perform a variety of soft tissue surgeries, including mass removals, wound repairs, enucleation (eye removal), cystotomy (bladder stone removal), foreign body removal, and pyometra surgery (uterine infection surgery).
Laser surgery offers a gentler, more precise alternative to traditional methods. The laser seals blood vessels and nerve endings as it cuts, resulting in less bleeding, swelling, and pain, and faster healing for your pet.
We’ll provide clear instructions before your pet’s procedure, including when to stop feeding them the night before and what to expect on surgery day.
We use modern pain management protocols before, during, and after surgery to keep your pet as comfortable as possible. You’ll also receive medications to continue at home if needed.
We use advanced anesthetic agents and continuous monitoring throughout the procedure to make anesthesia as safe as possible. Pre-anesthetic testing helps us identify any risks ahead of time to ensure your pet’s safety.
Recovery time depends on the type of surgery and your pet’s age and health, but most pets bounce back within a few days to a couple of weeks. We’ll guide you through every step of aftercare.
