Your Pet's Surgery
Surgical Services
We understand that surgery is not an easy experience for you or your pet. At the Animal Clinic of East Avenue, we strive to ensure your pet's surgical procedure is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. To that end, we also endeavor to provide our clients with a clear understanding of why a particular procedure is necessary, what the procedure entails, proper post-operative care, and convey any other information you may need to feel comfortable that you are making the right choice for your pet.
Staffed by a team of highly trained veterinarians and experienced veterinary technicians, we are proud of the quality of surgical care we provide and the wide range of surgical procedures we offer. Beyond spay and neuter surgeries, the Animal Clinic of East Avenue performs an array of orthopedic and soft tissue surgeries. These include more advanced soft-tissue procedures such as tumor removals, splenectomies, foreign body removals and more. For complicated orthopedic surgeries, we bring in a surgical specialist to work onsite so your pet receives the best care in familiar surroundings.
We also offer hospitalization for surgical as well as medical patients, which includes the following:
- Daily physical examination with a doctor
- Daily treatments as needed
- Daily walks outside with a veterinary technician or kennel attendant
- Daily feedings appropriate for the post-surgical care of your pet
- Daily cage cleaning and disinfecting
- Lots of TLC throughout the day.
Pain Management
The Animal Clinic of East Avenue also believes that identifying and relieving pain is essential to the recovery of your pet. Therefore, pain management is an important aspect of our intra- and post-surgical protocols. At discharge, we may also send additional pain management medication home with you and your pet after providing a thorough explanation of its proper use and dosage.
Anesthesia & Monitoring
Anesthesia and cardiovascular monitoring are important, integral aspects of every surgery we perform. For this reason, your pet has access to the best and most advanced anesthetic administration and cardiovascular monitoring equipment and protocols.
Anesthesia is individualized for your pet based on a number of factors, which includes the type of procedure, his or her preexisting conditions, blood test values, age, breed, and prior anesthetic experience.
During anesthesia and surgery, your pet is constantly monitored by a trained veterinary technician, using our advanced monitoring system. This system continuously monitors your pet's arterial oxygen level, blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and core body temperature.
