Welcome to the Surgery Room

NTRODUCTION                                                         Dog and cat surgery is an important aspect of every animal hospital's activities.  In ThePetCenter's surgery room you are welcome any time!  And don't worry, you won’t have to wear a cap, mask and a surgical gown!  But you will feel like you are right next to the surgeon during the operations. Cat surgery...anesthesia is surely required!You will see some close-up photos of dog and cat surgery and read explanations of what the surgeon is doing.
     Modern veterinary surgery on dogs and cats is done under conditions designed to minimize the chances of bacterial contamination. Instruments, gowns, towels and other items such as scalpels and clamps are sterilized in an autoclave at 270 degrees under pressure for various lengths of time to kill any microorganisms. As well, the surgeon scrubs the hands and wears sterilized surgical gloves and also wears a gown if the surgery is more than a minor procedure. By adhering to sterile surgical techniques, postoperative infections are seldom encountered.

     After any surgical procedure the pet’s owner is given a thorough description of what the surgeon accomplished and what is now expected of the pet owner in terms of post-operative home care.  And sometimes that can be a bigger challenge than the surgery! How do you make a happy and carefree dog "take it easy" for ten days? How do you make a cat not jump off the back of the couch? Nevertheless, aftercare is vital to the healing process.  In our surgery room today you can view a dog and cat spay and a neuter procedure or take a look at an orthopedic procedure where a torn Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is repaired. You can also see a minor electrosurgical removal of a nasty looking growth from the gum area of a dog... and there's more if you care to look!  Why not tell another dog or cat "person" about this page by using the email referral below?  Now... off to see some surgeries.
