SURGERY

Sherwood South Animal Hospital is prepared to perform an array of surgical procedures, from routine spays and neuters to more complex soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries. We routinely perform ovariohysterectomies (spays), castrations (neuters), and growth removals, as well as, cruciate repairs, stabilization of luxating patellas, IM pinning for fractured bones, and FHO surgeries. Other procedures performed are surgical biopsies (liver, intestinal, skin, etc), cystotomies, anal sacculectomies, ocular enuecleations, soft palate resections, stenotic nares and entropion procedures.

We advocate the use of pre-anesthetic blood work to screen for any situations that may require us to change our anesthetic protocol for your pet. Animals with heart disease, lung disease and liver or kidney disease can benefit from a unique anesthetic protocol made just for them.

One of our top priority is controlling your pet’s discomfort. The doctors and staff at Sherwood South Animal Hospital take all necessary steps to relieve any pain before, during, and after your pet's surgical procedure. We also know that with proper pain control for all surgeries, the time it takes for your pet to heal is lessened.

We are pleased to offer laser surgical options for your pets. All cat declawing procedures are performed with a laser to significantly lessen intra-operative bleeding and help make recovery faster and less painful. Ask any of our doctors for more information about laser surgery options.
