Our Surgical Services
The decision to allow your beloved companion to undergo surgery is never an easy one. Despite the confidence we have in our abilities and state-of-the-art surgical suite, we know that surgery is difficult for both you and your pet. This is why we work as hard as we do to ensure your pet's procedure is as comfortable and stress free as possible.
Perhaps the most important pre-surgical step we take is to discuss with you why we believe a particular procedure is necessary and what it entails. We will also provide information on proper postoperative care and answer any questions you may have so that you feel comfortable that you are making the right choice for your pet.
Greystone Pet Hospital truly believes that our personal attention to each patient and client is what makes our surgical services unique.
Your Pet's Surgery
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.
We understand that surgery is not an easy experience for you and your pet. At Greystone Pet Hospital we strive to ensure your pet's surgical procedure is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. To that end, we 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
.Beyond spay and neuter surgeries, the doctors at Greystone Pet Hospital perform an array of soft tissue surgeries. We also believe that identifying and relieving pain is important 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
Ensuring the health and safety of your pet during surgery is of the utmost importance and requires an anesthetic and monitoring regimen that adheres to the highest principles and ideals of veterinary medicine. At Greystone Pet Hospital your pet has access to state-of-the-art 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.
Postoperative Care
As your pet is being discharged from our hospital, our experienced technician will meet with you. We will provide you with detailed written instructions on how to properly care for your pet at home after surgery. We are also happy to answer any questions or concerns that may arise once you get your pet home. You can also expect a follow-up call from us within 24 hours of your pet's surgery.
