Surgery

We perform many surgeries and provide post surgical care at Bell Ridge Animal Hospital & Boarding. We focus on anesthetic safety and provide pain management before, during, and after surgery to ensure your pet will be as comfortable and pain free as possible. We customize our anesthetic protocols for each individual patient. Other factors that make a big difference at our hospital are the use of pre-anesthetic bloodwork to identify preexisting problems with your pet’s internal chemistry, the use of IV fluids pre, during, and post anesthetic procedures, anesthetic monitoring that includes blood pressure, EKG, CO2 and blood oxygenation parameters, general patient care during the procedure, keeping patients body temperature & IV fluids temp regulated with warm-water blankets surrounding the entire body, and extra attention given to individual patient needs specific to species and breed. We even provide heated recovery cages to maintain appropriate body temperature post procedure until the patient is fully recovered. When anesthesia is managed properly, the anesthetic risks are minimal.

All of our doctors are also trained to perform laser surgery. Laser can be used on many surgeries in place of traditional scalpel blade. View more information on using laser during surgeries.
