We know the thought of your pet undergoing surgery can be stressful, but you can rest assured they’re in expert hands. Our Bristol veterinary team combines advanced surgical techniques with gentle, attentive care to keep your pet safe and comfortable every step of the way. Whether it’s a routine spay or neuter, a delicate eye procedure, or the removal of a concerning mass, we approach each surgery with the same dedication we’d give our own pets.
Before we proceed with surgery, we start with a thorough pre-operative exam to assess your pet’s health and readiness for anesthesia. If needed, we’ll recommend bloodwork or other diagnostics to minimize risks and customize anesthesia for their individual needs. We’ll also walk you through the process so you feel confident and informed.
From the moment your pet enters our care, their safety is our top priority. Our team closely monitors their heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, and temperature throughout the procedure, ensuring everything stays stable and safe.
Once surgery is complete, we keep your pet warm and comfortable as they wake up from anesthesia. We’ll also closely monitor them for any signs of pain or adverse anesthetic effects, acting quickly to guarantee their comfort and well-being. Before heading home, we’ll review detailed aftercare instructions so you know exactly how to support a smooth, stress-free recovery.
These routine procedures offer lifelong health benefits, including a reduced risk of certain cancers and hormone-triggered behavioral problems. Our expert surgical approach helps pets recover quickly and comfortably.
Whether a lump is benign or cause for concern, we perform mass removals with precision and care. Early detection and complete excision can make a big difference in your pet’s long-term health.
Eye conditions like entropion, where the eyelid rolls inward, can cause pain and vision problems. Our surgical expertise helps relieve discomfort, protect eye health, and restore your pet’s quality of life.
We’ll provide detailed instructions beforehand, but in most cases, your pet will need to fast after midnight. If your pet is on medication, we’ll let you know what to continue or pause.
While any sedation or anesthesia comes with a risk, we take every precaution by monitoring your pet closely and carefully formulating their anesthetic protocol. We use pre-surgical screenings and advanced monitoring equipment to make anesthesia as safe as possible.
Recovery time varies by procedure, but most pets bounce back within a week or two. We’ll give you personalized guidance to help speed healing.
We use modern pain management techniques before, during, and after surgery to keep your pet comfortable. You’ll also receive medications to manage discomfort at home.
In most cases, we’ll ask you to withhold food after midnight the night before surgery to reduce anesthesia risks. Water is usually fine until the morning of the procedure.
