Surgery

Are you feeling scared about your pet’s upcoming surgery?

Bringing a family member in for a surgical procedure is never easy. At Heron Lakes Animal Hospital, we know exactly what you’re going through because we’re pet owners too. We’ll do whatever it takes to ensure that your best friend’s procedure is as stress-free as possible.

Pre-Surgical Care

Our surgical care begins with thorough preoperative screening, which helps us to reduce the risk of complications for your pet. We’ll also develop a safe, effective plan to keep your pet comfortable and pain-free – before, during and following surgery.

Surgery

Whether routine or complex, your companion’s procedure will be our highest priority. From the moment you arrive, we’ll be there to ease your mind and help keep your pet calm and relaxed. 

Once safely sedated, our team will work carefully and efficiently to complete the surgery. As the doctor works, our dedicated support staff will be present at all times, assisting with surgery and closely monitoring your pet’s wellbeing. 

After Care

After surgery, we’ll gently move your pet to our recovery area, where our staff will offer comfort and reassurance. 

When you arrive for pickup, we will go over our aftercare instructions, including a plan for pain management. 

Surgery doesn’t have to be a source of anxiety, especially if you’ve got the compassionate, experienced team at Heron Lakes Animal Hospital in your corner. Contact us today and let’s discuss how we can help with all of your companion’s surgical care needs.
