When a pet needs surgery, families want to know what to expect and who will be caring for their animal. At Bluestem Animal Clinic, veterinary surgery may include spay and neuter procedures, mass removal, abdominal surgery, and select urgent surgical care, such as foreign body or C-section procedures, when appropriate. Surgical laser technology may also be used during certain procedures. Before surgery, we explain the reason for the procedure, answer questions, and review the next steps. Afterward, our team provides guidance for recovery, home monitoring, and follow-up care so owners feel more prepared during the healing process.
