Vet Surgery Process

We understand that the idea of bringing your pet in for surgery may feel overwhelming. Please rest assured that we only recommend surgery when it is in the best interests of your four-legged friend. 

We will ensure that you fully understand why surgery is being recommended and that you are comfortable making the decision to move ahead. 

If your pet requires advanced care, our vets will refer you to a veterinary surgeon near Houston County, and work closely with your vet surgeon to ensure that your pet receives the best possible care. 

Surgical protocols at our animal clinic include:

Pre-surgical assessments. We will confirm the specifics of the procedure, complete a physical examination of the patient, and make sure blood tests have been completed and reviewed by the vet in order to determine if your pet faces any risk of anesthesia-related complications.

Dedicated surgical suites. Surgeries are performed in a dedicated surgical suite. This room is kept completely sterile to prevent infection and cross-contamination.

Surgical attire. Our staff wear disposable caps and masks at all times when they are in the surgical suite. Those involved in the procedure itself will also wear sterile gowns and single-use gloves.

Sterile packs and equipment. We carefully clean, sterilize and wrap our surgical instruments and equipment prior to every surgery.
