What to Expect from Veterinary Surgery

We will always keep you fully informed about why we are recommending a given surgical procedure, as well as regarding any post-operative care that your pet will need at home. At Veterinary Associates, we always use stringent surgical safety protocols.

Vet Surgical Procedures

At Veterinary Associates, our veterinary surgeons perform medical and emergency surgeries to help treat diseases and conditions in pets or to repair injuries sustained through trauma.

Our Grenada vets routinely perform the following elective and non-elective surgeries:

• Soft Tissue Surgery

  For pets suffering from ear, nose, and throat disorders, we offer soft tissue surgical procedures.

  These procedures are also available for hepatic, urogenital, oncological, cardiothoracic, gastrointestinal and skin disorders.

• Spaying & Neutering

  When we spay or neuter a cat or dog, we surgically sterilize them to prevent disease and provide them with an extended life expectancy. 

• C-Sections

  During Cesarean sections, we surgically remove puppies or kittens from their mother's uterus.

  C-sections will typically be performed when a mother isn't able to safely give birth to a litter of babies.

• Mass Removal

  Cats and dogs can develop masses associated with the skin. Masses can also grow inside a body cavity and can be serious or life-threatening.

  Mass removal surgery is a fairly common procedure for both cats and dogs.

• Foreign Body

  Sometimes, foreign objects are ingested or can get stuck inside a cat's or dog's body.

  Whether your pet has eaten an object that they shouldn't, or they've had an accident that has left them injured, we are able to perform foreign body surgery to help remove it.

  In some cases, specialized skills or equipment are needed to perform pet surgery. If that is the case for your animal, your vet will refer you to a cat or dog surgeon near Grenada and work closely with your veterinary surgeon to ensure that your dog or cat receives the very best care.

• Wounds

  Wounds occur when living tissue has been cut, broken, burnt, torn, or otherwise damaged.

  It's critical that your pet's wounds be cleaned, disinfected, and appropriately cared for by a qualified veterinarian as soon as possible.

• Orthopedic Surgery

  Orthopedic surgeries correct injuries and diseases of the bones, ligaments, joints, tendons, and other skeletal structures in your pet. If your dog or cat is suffering from a condition or injury that requires advanced specialized care, your vet will refer your dog or cat to a vet surgeon near Grenada.

• Dental Surgery

  Our veterinary surgeons in Grenada provide dental surgeries for dogs and cats. These surgeries can range from tooth extractions to gum disease treatment and jaw fracture repairs.

The Veterinary Surgery Process

We know that the prospect of bringing your pet in for surgery can be a frightening one. Rest assured, however, that we only recommend vet surgery when it is in the best interests of your four-legged friend.

We will make sure that you totally understand why we are recommending surgery as a treatment for your pet, and that you are comfortable with making the decision to move ahead.

If your pet requires advanced care, our vets will refer you to a veterinary surgeon near Grenada, and work closely with your vet surgeon to ensure that your pet receives the best possible care. 

Surgical protocols at our clinic include:

Pre-surgical assessments. We will confirm the specifics of the procedure, complete a physical examination of the patient, and make sure blood tests have been completed and reviewed by the vet in order to determine if your pet faces any risk of anesthesia-related complications.

Dedicated surgical suites. Vet surgeries are always performed in a dedicated surgical suite in our facility. This is a room that is kept totally sterile to prevent infection and cross-contamination between patients.

Surgical attire. Our staff wears disposable caps and masks at all times when they are in the surgical suite. Those involved in the procedure itself will also wear sterile gowns and single-use gloves.

Sterile packs and equipment. We are careful to clean, sterilize and wrap our surgical instruments and equipment prior to every surgery.
