Surgery

To keep the risk of anesthesia and surgery to a minimum for your pet, preanesthetic blood work is recommended. This helps to identify any pre-existing conditions, which would pose an increased hazard. The safest inhalant anesthetic gas is used, and all patients are monitored continuously for ECG, oxygenation, respiration, and heart rate. The latest surgical techniques are utilized by the veterinarians for both orthopedic and soft tissue procedures to secure the best possible outcome for your pet.  The CO2 cutting laser permits surgery with less bleeding, less tissue inflammation, and less pain. Consequently, pets recover more quickly when laser technology is employed. Dr. Dan has been using the CO2 laser since 2000 which makes him one of the most experienced laser surgeons in Iowa.
