Surgery
At Elk Meadow Animal Hospital, we understand that surgery can cause anxiety for pet owners, which is why we prioritize patient safety and comfort. Our skilled veterinary surgeons can perform a range of routine to complex procedures, and our support team is dedicated to providing compassionate and expert care. From check-in to pick-up, you can rest assured your pet is in good hands with our team.
Routine Procedures
Spaying and neutering are essential procedures for preventing unwanted pregnancies and promoting long-term pet health. While spaying and neutering are elective procedures, we recommend that all pet owners strongly consider them to reduce the risks of reproductive cancers and undesirable hormone-driven behaviors. The timing for a spay or neuter procedure depends on your pet's gender, species, age, and expected adult size — ask our veterinary team for details.
Soft Tissue & Orthopedic
From routine mass removals to complex orthopedic repair — performed in a primary care setting with the support of Board Certified surgeons.
Our veterinary surgeons can perform a wide range of soft tissue surgeries, ranging in complexity from minor mass removals to emergency abdominal procedures. Our team uses modern surgical techniques and advanced monitoring equipment to ensure pet safety and comfort at all times. Soft tissue surgeries we offer include:
Our hospital is proud to offer specialized orthopedic procedures to reduce pain and restore function in pets with orthopedic injuries or diseases. We work with Board Certified Veterinary Surgeons in order to provide exceptional orthopedic care in a primary care setting. Some of the surgeries we offer include:
Tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) is an advanced orthopedic procedure used to treat cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injuries in dogs and restore normal knee function. Our surgical team has extensive experience performing TPLO surgeries and ensuring optimal post-operative recovery. TPLO is a good choice for dogs of any size or activity level but provides especially good outcomes for large, active breeds.
What to Expect
Our surgical team will walk you through every step before your pet's procedure — including pre-anesthetic bloodwork requirements, fasting instructions, and what to expect during recovery. We want you to feel as informed and prepared as possible.
