Emergency Surgery
Our hospital specializes in emergency soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries for pets. We treat trauma injuries, fractures, foreign body obstructions, and internal bleeding. Our surgical team uses advanced techniques to stabilize critical patients and perform life-saving interventions. Post-operative care includes pain management and recovery monitoring.
Diagnostic Testing
We offer comprehensive diagnostic services including digital X-rays, ultrasounds, blood work, and endoscopic exams. These tools help identify internal injuries, organ dysfunction, and chronic conditions. Our in-house lab provides rapid results for timely treatment decisions.
CO2 Laser Surgery
CO2 laser surgery provides precise tissue cutting with reduced bleeding and pain. We use this technology for tumor removal, oral procedures, and soft tissue surgeries. Pets experience faster healing and minimal scarring compared to traditional methods.
Endoscopic Foreign Body Removal
We retrieve ingested foreign objects using rigid and flexible endoscopes. This non-surgical approach avoids abdominal incisions for items like toys, bones, or fabric. Most pets recover within 24 hours after the procedure.
24/7 Critical Care
Our ICU provides round-the-clock monitoring for critically ill pets. Services include mechanical ventilation, oxygen therapy, and intravenous fluid support. We manage complex cases like sepsis, organ failure, and post-operative recovery with continuous veterinary oversight.
