The Animal Place has all the necessary equipment and supplies to carry out not only minor, but major surgeries as well. Our veterinarians perform a variety of surgeries, including: spay, neuter, growth removal and much more. We also have the capability of calling in a specialty surgeon, Dr. Ron Fallon, for orthopedic surgeries if need be. In those instances, we do our best to accommodate your schedule, our schedule and Dr. Fallon’s schedule.

To help ensure your pets safety throughout the procedure, we take the following precautionary measures:

• We require a pre-operative screening to make sure that the anesthetic agents are safe to use.
• We insert a tube in their windpipe and use a heart monitor to keep track of their oxygen level, heart rate, and blood pressure from beginning to end.
• We place an IV-catheter in their leg and give them fluids throughout the procedure to help maintain their hydration and blood pressure at the appropriate levels.
