Pet Surgery

At Hofmann Veterinary Clinic, we understand that the thought of your pet undergoing surgery can be unsettling. Our goal is to guide you through this journey with compassion, expertise, and support.

Think of a pre-surgery consultation as a chance for us to listen attentively to your concerns, answer your questions, and gather crucial information about your pet’s health history.

During this visit, we will:

• Discuss the Specific Procedure: We’ll explain the surgery in detail, addressing any questions you have about the process, potential risks, and expected recovery time.
• Perform a Thorough Physical Examination: Just as a cartographer studies a map before embarking on an expedition, we’ll conduct a thorough physical exam to assess your pet’s overall health and identify any potential concerns.
• Recommend Pre-Surgical Bloodwork: These tests provide a window into your pet’s organ function, helping us tailor anesthesia protocols to their unique situation.

We adhere to the appropriate standards of surgical care, utilizing:

• Anesthetic Monitoring: Throughout the procedure, your pet is carefully monitored to help ensure their well-being.
• Our Equipment: Our surgical suite is equipped with the proper equipment and tools, allowing us to perform a range of procedures with precision and care.
• Pain Management Protocols: We believe that managing pain is an essential part of surgery, and we tailor pain relief strategies to each individual pet’s needs.

Just as a gardener tends to a delicate seedling, we’ll provide detailed instructions on post-operative care, including medication administration, incision care, and activity restrictions. Regular follow-up appointments can allow us to monitor your pet’s healing progress and address any concerns along the way.
