Safe and routine spay and neuter procedures for dogs and cats — with pre-surgical bloodwork, individualized anesthesia, and continuous monitoring.
A TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) is a surgical procedure used to treat a torn cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) in dogs. It stabilizes the knee by changing the angle of the shin bone, allowing the dog to walk comfortably without relying on the damaged ligament.
Surgery to realign bone using metal implants after radiologic confirmation. Indicators: recent trauma, lameness, leg swelling, local pain.
A fracture reduction using metal devices outside of the limb. Indicators: recent trauma, lameness, leg swelling, local pain.
Removal of the damaged section of a femur, creating a false joint. Indicators: chronic limping of a hind limb, history of trauma or arthritis.

Cat neutering is a surgical procedure that we perform here that removes both feline testicles.
Spaying a cat involves a female cat. It is a surgical procedure in which we remove either both ovaries by themselves or both ovaries and the uterus.
Spaying and neutering can be beneficial for the health of your cat in many ways. For a male cat, it helps with behavioral issues, such as aggression. It also helps with marking their territory. For female cats, it prevents mammary cancer and an infection of the uterus called pyometra.
When we talk about dog spaying and neutering, we are referring to the removal of the sex organs in a dog. We typically use 'neutering' for males and 'spaying' for females.
For males, we can often enhance some marking characteristics. Some behavioral issues, often driven by testosterone, may also be alleviated. There's also a significantly higher incidence of prostatic disease in intact males. For females, spaying eliminates the risk of pyometra and significantly reduces mammary tumor risk.
Recovery from a neutering procedure for a male dog usually takes about seven days, with the first five days being the most critical. For female dogs, recovery is typically 10-14 days, with activity restrictions throughout.
The primary task is to keep the dog calm. We often provide medications to help with this, especially for female dogs, as increased activity post-surgery can cause complications.
