Routine Surgery

We’re proud to offer high-quality routine surgical services at Artemis Veterinary, and your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priority. Having a pet who needs surgery can be one of the more stressful times in a pet owner’s life, and we understand! When your pet needs a surgical procedure, we promise to explain things thoroughly and ensure you feel fully informed and comfortable every step of the way. 

Common Pet Surgery Procedures

Some of the routine procedures that are performed include:

  • Spays and neuters
  • Dental procedures
  • Wound repair
  • Mass removals and biopsies
  • GI foreign body removal
  • Cystotomies
  • And more

Prior to the procedure, every surgical patient receives a full physical exam and baseline blood work, with additional lab services available as advised.  All patients receive constant monitoring during and after surgery.

All routine surgical procedures are performed with the pet placed under full general anesthesia. Your pet sleeps painlessly through the entire operation.

We provide appropriate pain management to help them recover quickly and uneventfully. In addition, we provide adequate and realistic instructions to you regarding their post-operative care at home. We also maintain contact after the procedure to ensure everything continues smoothly.

Thank You for Not Littering!

No, we’re not talking about trash – we’re talking surprise litters of puppies and kittens!

Every year, thousands of stray and unwanted animals are euthanized in shelters across the United States. Sadly, many of these euthanasias are the avoidable result of owners failing to spay and neuter their pets. Spaying and neutering help end this cycle and has multiple health benefits for your pet. 

When you choose to spay or neuter your pet, you reduce (or even eliminate) the possibility of certain types of cancer or infections. Spaying or neutering also makes pets less prone to roaming and can help reduce unwanted behaviors like aggression or marking. Most cats and dogs can be spayed or neutered from around four to five months of age, but your veterinarian will advise you on the right time for your pet to have their surgery. 

If you have any questions or would like to schedule a surgical consult for your pet, please call us at (617) 939-8172.
