Technology That Supports Safer Surgeries
Our doctors utilize advanced surgical tools like the Ligasure device and Electrocautery. This state-of-the-art instrument minimizes bleeding, reduces inflammation, and shortens anesthesia time, all of which contribute to safer procedures and faster recovery times for your pet.
Preventive Surgery for High-Risk Breeds
For breeds at higher risk of Gastric Dilatation and Volvulus (GDV), commonly known as "bloat," we strongly recommend a prophylactic gastropexy. This preventive surgery is often performed at the time of spay or neuter and can be lifesaving.
At-risk breeds include:
- Great Danes
- Poodles
- German Shepherds
- Boxers
- Weimaraners
- Wolfhounds
- Bloodhounds
- Setters
- Saint Bernards
- And other large, deep-chested dogs
- Labradoodle
- Goldendoodle
- And all other large-breed poodle crosses
