What to Expect from Pet Surgery

We will always keep you as informed as possible about why we are recommending a given surgical procedure for your pet and will explain any post-operative care they will require once your companion can return home. We practice stringent surgical safety protocols at our clinic to help keep your pet secure, comfortable and healthy.

Surgical Procedures

At Brodheadsville Veterinary Clinic, we perform medical and emergency pet surgeries to help treat disease and conditions in pets or to repair injuries sustained through trauma.

Our veterinary team routinely performs the following elective and non-elective surgeries in our Brodheadsville facility.

• Soft Tissue Surgery

  For pets suffering from ear, nose, and throat disorders, we offer soft tissue surgical procedures.

  These procedures are also available for hepatic, urogenital, oncological, cardiothoracic, gastrointestinal, and skin disorders.

The Surgery Process

We know that the prospect of bringing your animal in for pet surgery can be a frightening one. Rest assured, however, that we only recommend surgery when it is in the best interests of your four-legged companion. 

We will ensure that you fully understand why we are recommending surgery, and that you are comfortable making the decision to move ahead.

Surgical protocols at our clinic include:

Pre-surgical assessments. We will confirm the specifics of the procedure, complete a physical examination of the patient, and make sure blood tests have been completed and reviewed by the vet in order to determine if your pet faces any risk of anesthesia-related complications.

Dedicated surgical suites. Surgeries at Brodheadsville Veterinary Clinic are performed in a dedicated surgical suite. This is a room that is kept totally sterile in order to prevent cross-contamination and infection.

Surgical attire. Our staff wears disposable caps and masks at all times when they are in the surgical suite. Those involved in the procedure itself will also wear sterile gowns and single-use gloves.

Sterile packs and equipment. We are careful to clean, sterilize and wrap each of our surgical instruments before every surgical procedure performed at our hospital.
