Our hospital offers comprehensive animal anesthesia monitoring. Prior to anesthesia, your veterinarian will perform a thorough physical examination of your pet and may require them to have bloodwork in order to evaluate general organ health and suitability of anesthetic medications. While your pet is under anesthesia, he or she will be monitored in much the same way as a person undergoing anesthesia would be. This monitoring includes listening to your pet's heart and lungs, visually assessing your pet's reflexes, and using equipment to monitor your pet's blood pressure, level of blood oxygen, heart rate, heart rhythm, and temperature. After the procedure is completed, your pet will continue to have vital parameters monitored until he or she is fully recovered. Trained technicians act alongside veterinarians to ensure that your pet's procedure goes smoothly.

Surgery

The goal of our Surgeons, Registered Veterinary Technicians and our highly skilled support staff is to provide pain free personalized treatment with unparalleled care for each and every one of our patients.

What Is A Board Certified Veterinary Surgeon?

A board certified veterinary surgeon is a licensed veterinarian who has obtained intensive, additional surgical training in order to be accepted and accredited by the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS).

While your primary care veterinarian can diagnose and treat many health problems, certain diseases and conditions require the care of a doctor who has had this specialized, intensive surgical training in order to provide the very best outcome for your pet.

The Surgery service here at GVSS offers a range of advanced surgical procedures including:

  • Orthopedic surgery
    • Arthroscopy
    • Tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO)
    • Angular limb deformity correction
    • Fracture repair

    • Patellar luxation stabilization
    • Arthrodesis
  • Abdominal surgery
  • Oncologic (cancer) surgery
  • Skin reconstructive surgery
