Surgical Services for Pets
We understand that the prospect of bringing your pet in for surgery can be frightening. Please be assured that we recommend surgery only when it is in the best interests of your furry companion.
We will ensure that you fully understand why we are recommending surgery and that you are comfortable making the decision to move ahead.
We offer a wide range of surgical procedures for cats and dogs at our Fort Worth clinic, including spay and neuter procedures, using stringent surgical protocols.
We are always available to answer any questions you might have about your pet's procedure or care.
What to Expect from Your Pet's Surgery
Our team will provide you with all the information you need, including pre-operative and post-operative care instructions to help give your pet the best chance at a successful surgery and full recovery.
Surgical Procedures
At A-Animal Clinic & Boarding Kennel, we perform medical and emergency surgeries to help treat pets' diseases and conditions or repair injuries sustained through trauma.
If your pet requires advanced care, our vets will refer you to a vet surgeon near Fort Worth, and work closely with your veterinary surgeon to ensure that your pet receives the best possible care.
Our Fort Worth vets routinely perform the following elective and non-elective surgeries:
-
Soft Tissue Surgery
For pets suffering from ear, nose, and throat disorders, we offer soft tissue surgical procedures.
These procedures are also available for hepatic, urogenital, oncological, cardiothoracic, gastrointestinal, and skin disorders.
-
Spaying & Neutering
When we spay or neuter a cat or dog, we surgically sterilize them to prevent disease and provide them with an extended life expectancy.
-
C-Sections
During Cesarean sections, we surgically remove puppies or kittens from their mother's uterus.
C-sections are typically performed when the mother is unable to give birth naturally.
-
Wounds
Wounds occur when living tissue has been cut, broken, burnt, torn, or otherwise damaged.
It's imperative that these wounds be cleaned, disinfected, and appropriately cared for by a qualified veterinarian as soon as possible.
-
Orthopedic Surgery
Orthopedic surgeries correct injuries and diseases of the bones, ligaments, joints, tendons, and other skeletal structures in your pet.
At A-Animal Clinic & Boarding Kennel we work with a traveling orthopedic veterinary surgeon. They will come to our clinic to perform your cat or dog's surgery.
-
Dental Surgery
Our veterinarians provide dental surgeries for dogs and cats. These surgeries can range from tooth extractions to gum disease treatment and jaw fracture repairs.
The Surgery Process
During each surgery, a dedicated veterinary technician will administer anesthesia and continuously monitor your pet using electronic patient monitoring equipment. Pain management will also be provided.
Following your pet's surgery, post-operative monitoring and pain management are our priorities. Your vet will also provide thorough instructions for at-home care.
Surgical protocols at our 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 wears 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.
