Surgery

Are you feeling nervous about your pet’s upcoming surgery? You’re not alone. Bringing a beloved family member in for a procedure can be an overwhelming experience. At Toronto Central Animal Clinic, we understand exactly what you’re going through because we’re pet owners too. That’s why we go above and beyond to make sure both you and your pet feel as comfortable as possible. From pre-surgical care to post-operative recovery, our team is committed to providing the highest level of care, compassion, and expertise.

Pre-Surgical Care

Our surgical care begins long before the actual procedure. Preoperative screening plays a vital role in ensuring a successful surgery by helping to identify any underlying health concerns that could increase the risk of complications for your pet. Before surgery, we’ll perform a full physical exam, and any necessary lab work to determine the safest way to proceed.

Once we’ve gathered this information, we’ll create a personalized anesthetic and pain management plan tailored to your pet’s individual needs. Your loved one’s comfort and safety are our top priorities, and we take every precaution to ensure they are comfortable and stress-free before, during, and after the procedure.

Surgical Procedures

Whether your pet requires a routine elective procedure or a more advanced surgical intervention, rest assured that they will be in caring, capable hands. From the moment you arrive, our compassionate staff will be there to ease your concerns and help keep your pet calm and relaxed.

Once safely sedated, our skilled veterinary surgeon will perform the procedure with precision and efficiency. Meanwhile, our dedicated support staff will closely monitor your pet’s vital signs, ensuring they remain stable throughout the surgery. Every member of our team is committed to providing the best possible care while minimizing any discomfort your pet may experience.

At Toronto Central Animal Clinic, we perform a wide range of routine and advanced surgical procedures, including:

• Elective Surgeries – Sterilization procedures such as spays and neuters, as well as dental prophylaxis, growth removals, biopsies, tail docking, cat declawing, and rabbit sterilizations.
• Soft Tissue Surgeries – Procedures involving internal organs, such as bladder stone removal (cystotomy), spleen removal (splenectomy), foreign body removals, urinary tract blockage (urethrostomy), trauma repair, and Caesarean sections.
• Orthopedic Surgeries – Treatment for fractures, luxating patellas (loose kneecaps), cruciate ligament injuries (knee injuries), and other skeletal conditions.

Post-Surgical Care and Recovery

After the procedure, we’ll carefully transfer your pet to our recovery area, where they’ll be monitored as they wake from anesthesia. Our staff will provide gentle reassurance and ensure they are comfortable as they regain consciousness.

When it’s time for your pet to go home, we’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions, including a personalized pain management plan to ensure a smooth recovery. Our team is always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have during your pet’s healing process.

CO2 Laser Surgery: Advanced, Precise, and Minimally Invasive

At Toronto Central Animal Clinic, we also offer CO2 laser surgery, a cutting-edge technology that enhances precision and reduces trauma to surrounding tissues.

Laser surgery works by using highly concentrated light energy to remove or modify tissue. Unlike traditional surgical methods, the CO2 laser minimizes bleeding, swelling, and post-operative pain, allowing for a faster recovery time. This method is particularly beneficial for delicate procedures where precision is crucial.

Developed from Einstein’s theory of stimulated emission of radiation, CO2 laser technology has revolutionized both human and veterinary medicine. The carbon dioxide laser is the most practical and widely used type of laser for treating animals. It works by vaporizing the water within tissue cells, allowing precise removal while leaving surrounding healthy tissue intact.

Ensuring the Best Care for Your Pet

At Toronto Central Animal Clinic, we are dedicated to providing the highest standard of veterinary care. We strongly recommend an office visit and full physical examination before any surgical procedure to determine the best approach for your pet.

Surgery doesn’t have to be a stressful experience. With the right team by your side, you can feel confident that your furry friend is in the best hands.
