Pet Surgery In Parkville, MO
Rely on our expert surgical care for pets. We combine an experienced veterinary team, advanced techniques, and dedicated post-op support for their long-term health and comfort.
Surgery
If your pet must undergo surgery, whether for a routine spay neutering or a more involved procedure, it will be well cared for by the experienced medical team at Parkville Heights Animal Hospital. We are meticulous about every facet of our surgical services, from pre-operative testing to continual monitoring during the procedure to post-surgery consultations.
Pre-Surgery Examination and Testing
Before we perform your pet’s surgery, our veterinarians first do a thorough physical exam, looking for any health problems that might compromise the success of the procedure. We also recommend pre-surgical blood tests to check for any conditions that might not be evident during a physical exam.
Anesthesia
Our hospital uses the very latest and most effective anesthesia medications available.
Continuous Monitoring During Anesthesia
From the moment your pet is prepped for surgery until it has fully recovered, our medical team will continually monitor its condition, constantly checking vital signs like heart and respiratory rates, temperature, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation level.
Comfort During Surgery
So your pet won’t experience any undue discomfort, we begin administering pain medication before surgery and continue until your pet is released to your care. Animals lose a lot of body heat during anesthesia. To help keep your pet warm, our surgical table is heated. After the procedure, your pet will recover on a heating unit and be wrapped in warm towels and blankets.
Surgical Consultation and Specialist Services
While we offer a full array of surgical services at Parkville Heights Animal Hospital, if needed, we can arrange a referral to a board-certified surgeon for more advanced surgical procedures.
Post-Operative Consultation
As soon as your pet has recovered from surgery, we will phone you and let you know how your pet is doing. Before we release your pet to your care, our veterinarians will sit down with you and discuss the procedure, its outcome, and what to expect during recovery.
Parkville Heights Animal Hospital is dedicated to helping your pet live a healthy, happy life. Please contact us today with your questions or concerns or to schedule an exam.
