Our experienced veterinary surgeons can handle a wide range of emergency procedures, including but not limited to:

Foreign Object Removal: Surgical removal of ingested objects causing blockages or perforations in the gastrointestinal tract.

What to Expect During Emergency Surgery

From the moment your pet arrives, our team springs into action. We begin with a thorough assessment and quickly move to stabilize your pet, using advanced diagnostics to identify the best course of action. Once the need for surgery is confirmed, our veterinarians will discuss the procedure with you, including risks, benefits, and expected outcomes.

During surgery, your pet is closely monitored by a dedicated anesthesia team, ensuring their safety and comfort throughout the procedure. We use modern anesthetics and monitoring equipment to minimize risks and provide the best possible care.

Post-Operative Care and Recovery

After surgery, your pet will be transferred to our recovery area, where they will receive continuous monitoring and supportive care. Our team will keep you informed of your pet’s progress and provide detailed instructions for at-home care, including pain management, wound care, and follow-up appointments.

We understand that this can be a stressful time, and we are here to support you every step of the way. Our goal is to ensure your pet has a smooth recovery and the best possible outcome.
