When Your Pet Needs Surgery
We understand the decision to allow your pet to undergo surgery is never easy. To that end, your Vancouver veterinarian will be happy to answer any questions regarding your pet’s spaying, neutering, or general surgery, as well as provide you with information on proper postoperative care. It is our goal that you feel comfortable knowing you are making the right choice for your pet.
Spaying and Neutering Your Dog or Cat
Spaying and neutering are essential procedures that not only help control the pet population but also support your pet’s long-term health and behavior. These safe, routine surgeries can prevent certain cancers, reduce the risk of infections, and minimize undesirable behaviors such as roaming or marking. At Salmon Creek Veterinary Clinic, spay and neuter surgery are very common and typically do not have complications. With careful monitoring, modern anesthesia, and dedicated aftercare, we make sure your pet’s procedure is as safe, comfortable, and stress-free as possible.

Safe Anesthesia
Your pet’s health and safety are our highest priority. Every surgical procedure is supported by an advanced anesthesia and monitoring regimen that follows the strictest standards of veterinary care. We use state-of-the-art anesthesia equipment and monitoring systems to keep your pet safe and comfortable throughout surgery.
Pre-Surgical Consultation
Before any procedure, your pet will receive a thorough physical exam and pre-anesthetic blood work. This allows us to identify any underlying health concerns and create a customized anesthesia plan tailored specifically to your pet’s needs. Pre-surgery blood work helps reduce the risk of complications during and after surgery.
During Surgery
During surgery, a highly trained veterinary technician closely monitors your pet using advanced equipment that tracks blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen levels, body temperature, EKG, and end-tidal CO₂. In addition, all anesthetized pets receive IV fluids to support circulation, protect the kidneys, and help ensure a smooth recovery.
Post-Surgery
Recovery is an important part of your pet’s healing process. After surgery, your pet will be carefully monitored until they are awake and stable. Once discharged, we’ll provide you with clear, detailed instructions for home care, including pain management, activity restrictions, feeding instructions, and follow-up appointments.
