Veterinary Surgeries We Perform

We offer a wide range of general and soft tissue surgeries, each performed with precision and attention to your pet’s specific health needs. Our most common procedures include:

  • Spay & Neuter: Prevents unwanted pregnancies, reduces the risk of certain cancers, and can help with behavior concerns
  • Mass Removal: Surgical removal or benign and malignant growths to improve comfort and prevent complications
  • Hernia Repair: Fixing umbilical, inguinal, or abdominal hernias to prevent organ entrapment
  • Bladder Stone Removal: Removing stones that cause discomfort, infections, and urinary blockages
  • Wound & Laceration Repair: Cleaning, suturing, and treating injuries to promote proper healing

If your pet needs a different type of procedure, our team is happy to walk you through what’s possible and create a custom care plan.

How We Keep Your Pet Safe During Surgery

We understand that the idea of anesthesia or surgery can be stressful. That’s why we take every precaution to ensure your pet’s experience is smooth, safe, and as stress-free as possible:

Pre-Anesthetic Lab Work

Preparatory tests inform the veterinarian about your pet’s organ function and whether they are healthy enough for anesthesia.

Individualized Anesthetic Protocol

Based on your pet’s health status, breed, and age, our veterinarian carefully selects the safest anesthetic medications and protocols to create a balanced anesthesia.

Continuous Monitoring

Electronic monitoring equipment and a dedicated veterinary technician track and record your pet’s vital signs, including oxygenation, heart and respiratory rate, blood pressure, heart rhythm, and temperature, and alert the surgeon to any change.

State-Of-The-Art Surgical Suite

Our dedicated surgery room, equipment, and instruments ensure the highest sterility level.

Heat Support

Anesthesia causes hypothermia, which can slow recovery, so we use warm water circulating mats and warm air blankets to preserve your pet’s body heat.

Pain Management

We use a multimodal analgesia plan to ensure your pet remains pain-free.
Supervised recovery — Your pet is closely monitored to ensure they stay warm and comfortable until they are fully awake.

Getting Your Pet Ready for Surgery

Before surgery day, our team will provide specific instructions for your pet. These typically include:

  • Fasting: Most pets need to stop eating 8-12 hours before surgery to reduce anesthesia risks
  • Medications: Let us know if your pet is taking any medications so we can advise on whether to continue or pause them
  • Comfort & Calmness: Bring your pet in a secure carrier or on a leash to minimize stress on the day of surgery

Caring for Your Pet After Surgery

Post-op recovery is just as important as the procedure itself. We’ll provide you with a clear set of at-home care instructions, and we’re always available if questions come up. Aftercare typically includes:

  • Limiting Activity: Restrict running, jumping, and rough play to prevent complications
  • Wound Care: Keep the incision clean and dry, and monitor for redness, swelling, or discharge
  • Medication Management: Follow our instructions for pain relief and antibiotics to ensure a smooth recovery
  • Follow-Up Visits: We’ll schedule a recheck appointment to assess healing and remove stitches if needed

Is Anesthesia Safe for My Pet?

Yes. At NVC Calder, we follow strict safety protocols to minimize risk. Before any procedure, we run pre-anesthetic bloodwork and create an individualized anesthesia plan tailored to your pet’s health, age, and breed. Our team also monitors your pet’s vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure their safety and comfort.

Can I Stay With My Pet Before or After Surgery?

You’re welcome to stay with your pet during check-in, and our team will keep you updated throughout the day. After surgery, we’ll review at-home care instructions with you and make sure you feel confident supporting your pet’s recovery. While we don’t allow owners in the surgical suite, we treat every pet like our own while they’re in our care.

What Should I Do if I Notice a Problem After Surgery?

If you see swelling, discharge, redness at the incision site, or if your pet seems unusually lethargic, contact us right away. Our Calder team is here for post-op support and happy to answer any questions about your pet’s recovery.
