Surgery

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

Bringing a family member in for surgery is never easy. At Heron Lakes Animal Hospital, we understand what you’re going through because we’re pet owners too. Rest assured that we’ll do whatever it takes to ensure that your loved one’s procedure is as safe and stress-free as possible.

Pre-Surgical Care

The surgical care at Heron Lakes Animal Hospital begins with 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

On the day of surgery, we want to assure you that your pet’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, comfortable, and relaxed. 

Once safely sedated, our team will complete the surgery as efficiently as possible. As the doctor works, our dedicated support staff will be available at all times to assist with surgery and closely monitor your companion’s wellbeing. 

After Care

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

When you arrive to pick up your pet, we’ll discuss 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 experienced, compassionate 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.
