Ensuring Your Pet’s Safety and Comfort
It’s natural to feel concerned about your pet undergoing surgery, but our dedicated team takes all necessary precautions to make sure the experience is as safe and comfortable as possible. Here’s how we prioritize your pet’s well-being before, during, and after surgery:
- Pre-Surgery Health Check: We conduct a thorough examination and screening to check for any health issues that could increase surgery risks, such as heart problems or infections.
- Sterile Environment: Our surgical suite is meticulously sterilized to maintain a clean, safe environment during every procedure.
- Tailored Medication: We adjust anesthesia, antibiotics, pain relief, and other medications based on your pet’s size, age, and overall health condition to ensure they receive the best care.
- Continuous Monitoring: During surgery, our veterinarians and technicians use advanced monitoring equipment, including ECG and oxygen saturation, to track your pet’s vital signs and respond to any changes immediately.
- Temperature Control: We use heated tables and blankets to maintain your pet’s body temperature throughout the procedure, ensuring they stay comfortable.
- Post-Surgery Care: After surgery, your pet will receive careful attention and intensive care to ensure they wake up safely and are as comfortable as possible.
Laser Surgery
At Eastwood Animal Hospital, we offer laser surgery as an alternative to traditional surgical methods. Laser surgery uses a CO₂ surgical laser to perform various procedures such as spays, neuters, and mass removals. This advanced technique offers numerous benefits:
- Reduced Pain: Laser surgery minimizes pain by sealing nerves and blood vessels as it cuts, preventing unnecessary trauma to surrounding tissues.
- Less Bleeding: The laser cauterizes blood vessels during the procedure, significantly reducing bleeding and the need for stitches.
- Faster Recovery: With smaller incisions and less damage to surrounding tissue, pets generally experience less swelling and discomfort, leading to a quicker recovery.
- Bacterial Control: The laser kills bacteria in its path, reducing the risk of infection and promoting faster healing.
