Our full-service hospital provides a comprehensive range of surgical procedures to address medical conditions, improve mobility, and enhance the quality of life for your pet. With advanced anesthesia protocols, dedicated monitoring, and customized pain management, we prioritize safety and comfort at every step.

 

"Breathe Better" BOAS Surgeries

Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS) is common in flat-faced breeds, leading to difficulty breathing and reduced quality of life. Our team has performed numerous BOAS procedures, ensuring expert care and optimal outcomes for affected pets.

Our BOAS corrective surgeries aim to open up the airways and improve respiratory function. Procedures include:

  • Stenotic Nares Correction – Widening of the nostrils to allow better airflow.

  • Folded Flap Palatoplasty (FFP) – A modern, advanced alternative to the traditional soft palate resection (staphylectomy). This technique thins and repositions the excess tissue of the soft palate rather than simply trimming it, reducing post-operative swelling and improving long-term airway function. At our hospital, we prioritize this innovative procedure to ensure better breathing outcomes for brachycephalic pets.

  • Everted Laryngeal Saccules Removal – Reduction of inflamed tissue blocking the airway.

  • Combination BOAS Surgery – Addressing multiple airway issues in one procedure for optimal results.

​

Corrective Surgeries for Flat-Faced Breeds

Brachycephalic breeds often experience additional anatomical challenges beyond airway issues. We offer specialized corrective procedures tailored to their unique needs, including:

  • Eyelid Surgeries – Correction of entropion (inward-rolling eyelids) and ectropion (outward-rolling eyelids) to prevent discomfort and corneal damage.

  • Skin Fold Reductions – Removal or reshaping of excessive facial or body wrinkles to prevent infections and irritation while preserving the distinct breed appearance.

  • Dental & Jaw Corrections – Addressing severe dental crowding, malocclusions, or misaligned jaws to improve oral health and comfort.

  • Tail Fold Surgery – Correction of deep tail folds in breeds like English Bulldogs to prevent infection and chronic pain.

  • Reconstructive & Plastic Surgery – Tailored procedures to enhance comfort and prevent complications while preserving the distinct breed appearance.

 

Soft Tissue Surgeries

Soft tissue procedures are performed to treat a variety of medical concerns affecting the skin, organs, and other tissues. These surgeries can be life-saving or improve long-term health and comfort. Common soft tissue surgeries include:

  • Mass Removals, Mastectomies & Biopsies – Removal of benign and malignant growths with histopathology testing when necessary, including the removal of one or both mammary chains. 

  • Foreign Body Removal – Surgical intervention to extract ingested objects causing blockages.

  • Bladder & Urinary Tract Surgeries – Removal of bladder stones and treatment for urethral obstructions.

  • Gastrointestinal Surgeries – Treatment for conditions such as GDV (bloat), intestinal blockages, and gastric ulcers.

  • Splenectomy – Removal of the spleen due to tumors, rupture, or hematologic conditions.

  • Wound & Trauma Repair – Surgical repair of deep lacerations, bite wounds, or traumatic injuries.

  • Reproductive Surgeries – Spay/neuter procedures, pyometra surgery and C-sections for safe delivery.

  • Hernia Repair – Correction of umbilical, inguinal, and diaphragmatic hernias to restore normal function.

  • Wound Reconstruction & Skin Grafting – Surgical techniques to close large wounds and restore skin integrity.

 

Orthopedic Surgeries

Orthopedic procedures help pets regain mobility and function following injury, congenital conditions or degenerative joint disease. Our surgical team offers:

  • Fracture Repair – Bone plating, external fixation, and pinning to stabilize broken bones.

  • Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL) Repair – Procedures such as TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) or lateral suture stabilization for knee injuries.

  • Patellar Luxation Surgery – Correction of kneecap dislocation to prevent pain and mobility issues.

  • Hip & Joint Surgeries – Treatment for hip dysplasia, femoral head ostectomy (FHO), and joint stabilization.

  • Amputation & Limb Salvage Procedures – For severe trauma or cancer cases where limb function cannot be preserved.

  • Arthrodesis (Joint Fusion Surgery) – Addressing severe joint instability or arthritis for pain relief.

​

Oral Surgery

Our oral surgical procedures include treatment for oral tumors, fracture repairs, mandibulectomy and maxillectomy for advanced oncologic cases, offering comprehensive surgical solutions for pets with oral cancers or severe trauma.

​

Emergency & Critical Surgeries

We provide urgent surgical interventions for immediate care requiring conditions, including trauma repair, emergency C-sections, gastrointestinal obstructions, and wound reconstruction. Our hospital is equipped to handle emergencies promptly, ensuring the best possible outcome for your pet.

​

Pain Management & Anesthesia

We prioritize patient safety and comfort by utilizing advanced anesthesia protocols tailored to each pet’s needs. Our team carefully monitors vital signs throughout surgery to ensure a safe experience. Comprehensive pain management, including pre-operative and post-operative pain control, ensures a smoother recovery and enhances overall well-being. We are committed to using the latest pain relief techniques to keep your pet as comfortable as possible during and after their procedure.
