When your pet needs surgery, you want to know they’re in the best hands. At Tri-County Veterinary Clinic, we perform a wide range of surgical procedures with a focus on safety, precision, and compassionate care. From routine spay and neuter surgeries to complex orthopedic procedures and advanced laser surgery, our skilled team is here to support your pet every step of the way. We provide surgical care for dogs, cats, and exotic pets, with the same level of dedication we’d give our own animals.
Your pet’s well-being is our top priority at every stage of surgery. Before the procedure, we perform a thorough exam and may recommend bloodwork to ensure your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia. Each patient receives a tailored anesthetic plan based on their age, species, and medical history.
During surgery, your pet is never alone. Our trained veterinary technicians use advanced monitoring equipment to track heart rate and rhythm, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and respiratory rate. We also maintain your pet’s body temperature with warming blankets and provide IV fluids when needed to keep them stable.
After surgery, your pet is moved to a quiet recovery area, where our team continues to closely monitor them until they are fully awake. Pain control is an essential part of our process. We provide medications via long-lasting local anesthesia and injections, in addition to other comfort measures, to make recovery as smooth and stress-free as possible.
These common procedures include everything from routine spays and neuters to more specialized soft tissue surgeries like mass removals, bladder stone removal, wound repair, and more. In addition to preventing unplanned litters, these surgeries can improve your pet’s long-term health, comfort, and quality of life.
For pets with bone, joint, or ligament problems, Dr. Biggs performs orthopedic surgery to restore mobility and function. Whether repairing a fracture or stabilizing a torn ligament, our team focuses on helping your pet return to an active, pain-free lifestyle.
Laser-assisted surgery uses concentrated light energy instead of a traditional scalpel. This approach minimizes bleeding and swelling, reduces post-operative discomfort, and can shorten recovery times, making it an excellent option for many procedures.
Most pets should not eat after midnight before surgery, but they may have water until the morning. We’ll provide specific instructions tailored to your pet.
Recovery depends on the type of surgery. Spays and neuters typically require 10–14 days of rest, while orthopedic procedures may require a longer healing period.
We strive to make anesthetic events and surgery as safe as possible, with modern monitoring equipment, customized anesthetic protocols, and close supervision before, during, and after surgery.
We take pain management seriously. Your pet will receive medications before, during, and after their procedure to keep them as comfortable as possible.
Yes. We’re experienced in providing surgical care for many exotic species, tailoring anesthesia and recovery protocols to their unique needs.
