General Surgery Each patient's anesthetic and pain management protocol is individually tailored for his or her current health status, age, medical history and surgical procedure. In addition to monitoring by our trained veterinary nurses, we use monitors to check each animal's blood pressure, oxygen saturation, heart rate and respiration. We perform most soft tissue surgeries but only limited orthopedic surgeries. The following is a small sample of the soft tissue surgeries we perform in our hospital: ovariohysterectomy (spay), castration (neuter), intestinal surgery, liver biopsy, cystotomy (bladder), mass removal, splenectomy and ferret adrenalectomy.
