Pet Surgical Services at Quail Creek Veterinary Clinic in Oklahoma City, OK

When your pet requires surgical care, it’s natural to have concerns. At Quail Creek Veterinary Clinic, we prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort during every procedure. Our pet surgical services in Oklahoma City, OK are designed to provide expert care, using a tailored approach for each pet’s unique needs.

Comprehensive Pre-Surgical Preparation

Before any surgical procedure, we conduct a thorough examination of your pet to ensure they are healthy enough for anesthesia and surgery. Even if your pet has been seen recently, this step is crucial for identifying any changes in their condition. Additionally, we recommend pre-surgical lab work, including a Complete Blood Count (CBC) and a chemistry panel. These tests help us assess organ function and detect potential risks, allowing us to create a safe surgical plan.

Safe and Monitored Anesthesia

Anesthesia is a necessary part of most surgical procedures, and while it carries inherent risks, our veterinary team takes every precaution to minimize them. We customize anesthesia protocols based on your pet’s age, size, health, and lab results. Throughout the procedure, your pet is monitored closely using advanced equipment to track vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels. This ensures their safety from start to finish.

Pain Management for Comfort

Keeping your pet comfortable during and after surgery is a top priority. We utilize a multi-modal approach to pain management, combining different medications that work together to provide effective relief. Most pets will also go home with additional pain medication to support their recovery process.

Complete oral exam under anesthesia, involves scaling and polishing of the teeth, and charting of the teeth to note any abnormalities such as gingivitis, periodontal pocket formation, fractures, or mobile teeth.

We also recommend dental radiographs for any problem teeth or full-mouth radiographs on patients that have a disease of the oral cavity such as stomatitis or Feline Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions.  Radiographs allow us to check for abnormalities below the gum line, where 50% of the tooth is invisible to us otherwise. We attend Continuing Education seminars and classes to ensure that our oral surgery practices are modern. Referral to a veterinary dental specialist can be made for advanced dental procedures.

Post-Surgical Care and Recovery

After surgery, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to help your pet recover smoothly. This includes guidance on medication administration, activity restrictions, and follow-up appointments. Our veterinary team is available to address any concerns and ensure your pet’s recovery progresses as expected.
