Pet Surgeries
When surgery is needed, our practice will administer both gentle and effective treatment to your beloved companion. From routine procedures, such as spaying or neutering, to more advanced operations, your pet may need to undergo surgery for any number of reasons.
Pet Surgeries
All surgeries are performed Tuesday through Thursday, except for emergencies. Procedures requiring anesthetic are only done in the morning to allow ample time for recovery during the afternoon. Most patients are discharged by late afternoon/evening. This reduces stress and gets them back home in your loving care, where they are most comfortable. Our anesthetized patients are intubated and continually monitored by a veterinary technician (Heart rate and blood pressure are assessed by humans as well as by mechanical ECG and blood pressure machines). Patients are not returned to kennels or left alone until fully recovered.
Routine surgeries are performed by Dr. Bjornson, Dr. Hunt, Dr. Heusel, and Dr. Wallace. Dr. Bjornson is also experienced in other surgery such as splenectomy, enucleation, entropion, ectropion, conjunctival flap, abdominal exploratory including resection with anastomosis and simple fracture repairs.
Advanced specialized surgeries are performed here at our hospital by the board certified surgeons from Twin Cities Veterinary Surgery. They have expertise in all areas of surgery including orthopedic surgeries (such as TPLO, TTA, advanced fracture repair) as well as advanced soft tissue surgeries.
Our staff at Broadway Veterinary Hospital is trained to give your pet the care and compassion they need to not only successfully make it through the operation but to lead a healthier and happier life when they return from our facilities.
You can expect our staff’s complete attention when your pet is in the surgical room. Veterinary surgery often requires multiple professionals working together, which is why we make sure your pet’s anesthesia is constantly monitored and adjusted by a trained technician. Our staff works together to communicate any potential anomalies that may compromise the efficacy of the surgery. We’ve found this strategy to be the best possible way to ensure favorable outcomes.
Before the surgery, we use the conclusions from the pre-surgery exam and the accompanying lab work to determine which methods to use during the operation. After the surgery, we design a pain management strategy specific to your pet’s size, breed, and condition. Broadway Veterinary Hospital’s goal is to give you all the advice you need to properly care for your pet from the moment they come home from the surgery. Taking a comprehensive approach to surgical care is the best path to achieving better pet health.
We can answer any questions you may have about the procedure, so you can feel comfortable about how your pet is being treated. From the type of anesthesia used to the length of post-care recovery, Broadway Veterinary Hospital gives you all the information you need to know so there are no surprises down the line.
