Comprehensive Pet Surgical Procedures at Mesa Veterinary Hospital

At Mesa Veterinary Hospital, we provide a range of surgical services designed to address your pet’s health needs comprehensively and with the utmost care.

Routine Spay and Neuter Procedures

Spaying and neutering are common procedures that offer numerous benefits for pets. These routine surgeries can help prevent certain medical conditions, reduce unwanted behaviors, and contribute to the reduction of overpopulation in shelters. Deciding to spay or neuter your pet is a personal choice, and we are here to provide guidance on the benefits, risks, and appropriate timing for these procedures. Our team will work with you to determine the best approach for your pet’s needs.

Soft-Tissue Surgeries

Pets may develop various growths, such as cysts, tumors, and skin tags, which can cause discomfort or health complications. Removing these growths can significantly improve your pet’s quality of life. At Mesa Veterinary Hospital, we perform routine soft-tissue surgeries to address these issues. We also send removed tissue samples to a pathologist for evaluation, providing a detailed histopathology report to determine if the growth is benign or malignant and to guide any further treatment if necessary.

Orthopedic Surgeries

Orthopedic issues, including joint and bone problems, are not uncommon in pets, and certain breeds may be more susceptible to specific conditions. We offer a range of orthopedic surgeries to address these issues, including:

  • Hip luxation
  • Bone fracture repair
  • Arthroscopy
  • Patellar luxation repair
  • Ligament and tendon reconstruction
  • Hip replacement
  • Cruciate ligament repair

Our goal is to restore mobility and alleviate pain, ensuring that your pet can return to their normal activities with improved comfort and function.

Advanced Comfort and Safety Measures

The comfort and safety of our patients are of utmost importance. Our surgical procedures are closely monitored by our veterinary team, including continuous oversight of your pet’s ECG, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation levels during anesthesia. To enhance safety, we use heated surgery tables and maintain rigorous sterilization practices.

Post-operatively, we focus on effective pain management to ensure your pet remains comfortable throughout their recovery. We offer continuous pain relief options as needed and monitor your pet’s progress closely. This careful attention helps to facilitate a smooth recovery process and supports your pet’s overall well-being.

Post-Surgical Recovery and Care

Recovery is a critical phase following any surgical procedure. At Mesa Veterinary Hospital, we provide comprehensive post-surgical care to support your pet’s healing process. We offer pain relief both in the hospital and at discharge, ensuring that your pet remains comfortable during recovery. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor healing progress, remove stitches, and make any necessary adjustments to medications.
