Soft Tissue and Orthopedic Surgery

Here at Wildwood we are excited to offer many different surgical procedures. We offer a variety of elective and organ specific procedures as well as some orthopedic surgeries. While your pet is here, they receive the upmost care. In most surgical procedures, your pet will receive discomfort medication and sedation prior to general anesthesia (gas anesthesia) to help relax them. While under general anesthesia both the doctor and a certified veterinary technician will be monitoring your pet’s vital signs. We have specialized equipment to help monitor blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and respiratory rate throughout the surgery. We also closely monitor the patient’s temperature to ensure they stay warm throughout surgery.

During recovery, your pet is monitored to ensure that they recover from anesthesia safely and appropriately. At the time of discharge, a technician will discuss the after care instructions with you as well as answer any questions you may have regarding the procedure and care. The veterinarian preforming the procedure will also speak with you regarding your pet’s surgery and aftercare.
