If your pet needs surgery, you may feel anxious about the experience. We want you to know that our team treats every surgical patient with the utmost care and attention. Whether your pet requires a routine spay or neuter, a dental extraction, or a more complex procedure, we're here to guide you through every step—from pre-operative planning through a smooth recovery at home.
Preparing Your Pet for Surgery
Proper preparation helps us perform surgery safely and helps your pet recover quickly. Before the procedure, we'll provide detailed pre-operative instructions, including when to stop food and water to prevent complications under anesthesia. We'll also perform a thorough health exam and may recommend bloodwork to ensure your pet is in good condition for the procedure. If your pet is on any medications, let us know—some may need to be adjusted before surgery. On the day of the procedure, our team will keep you updated and make sure your pet is calm and comfortable.
Postoperative Care and Recovery
After surgery, we'll send your pet home with detailed aftercare instructions to support healing. Most pets can go home the same day and will need a quiet, comfortable space to rest. You'll receive guidance on pain management, activity restrictions, wound care, and when to resume normal feeding. We'll schedule a recheck appointment to monitor your pet's healing and ensure everything is progressing as expected. Don't hesitate to call us with any concerns—our team is always here to answer questions during the recovery period.
Advanced Surgical Procedures Available In-House
You don't always need to travel to a referral center for complex surgery. Foxmoor Animal Hospital is equipped to perform many advanced procedures right here, from orthopedic surgery and abdominal procedures to soft tissue repair. Our doctors' experience and our surgical suite's capabilities mean your pet can often receive sophisticated care close to home, reducing stress and keeping you involved every step of the way.
Laser Therapy for Pain Relief and Healing
After surgery—or for managing chronic pain and injury—we offer therapeutic laser treatment. This gentle, non-invasive therapy uses focused light energy to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and promote tissue healing. Many pets respond beautifully to laser therapy, and it pairs well with other treatments to help your pet feel better and move more comfortably during recovery.
