Pet Surgery
At Startz Veterinary, we provide a range of surgical services to support the health and well-being of pets.. Whether your pet needs a routine procedure or a more complex intervention, our experienced team is here to provide safe, effective care with attention to detail at every step.
Our facility is equipped to perform many soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries, and we follow strict protocols to reduce risk and support recovery.
Comprehensive Surgical Services for Dogs and Cats
Before any surgery, pets undergo a physical examination and diagnostic screening to ensure they are healthy enough for anesthesia. Each surgical plan is tailored to your pet’s condition, medical history, and age.
We provide pre-operative instructions to help prepare your pet and detailed guidance for post-operative care at home.
Common Procedures We Perform
Our team handles a variety of routine and general surgeries in-house. These procedures are typically performed on an outpatient basis and include:
- Spay and neuter surgeries
- Mass and lump removals
- Dental cleanings
- Wound repair and laceration treatment
- Abdominal surgeries such as foreign body removal or bladder stone removal (cystotomy)
If your pet requires specialized diagnostics or advanced care, we may coordinate with mobile surgical specialists or refer you to a trusted partner clinic in the region.
Safety and Monitoring During Surgery
Your pet’s safety during surgery is our highest priority. Every patient is monitored by trained veterinary staff throughout the procedure. Our monitoring equipment has the capability to track heart rate, oxygen levels, blood pressure, and body temperature. We use pain management protocols before, during, and after surgery to help keep your pet comfortable.
Post-operative care is closely supervised until your pet is fully awake and stable. We’ll provide instructions tailored to your pet’s needs for recovery at home and schedule follow-up visits when needed.
When Referral Is the Best Option
While we offer a wide range of procedures on-site, some conditions require advanced surgical equipment or board-certified expertise. In these cases, we may invite a mobile specialist to perform the surgery at our clinic or refer your pet to a specialty facility for treatment. We remain involved in your pet’s care throughout the process, including follow-up after the procedure.
