Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before your visit.
What types of pet surgery are available at Summit Dog & Cat Hospital?
The hospital provides routine and advanced procedures for dogs and cats. Services may include spaying and neutering, orthopedic surgery, fracture care, FHO surgery, mass removal, biopsy, wound repair, cystotomy, hernia repair, pyometra surgery, and other procedures based on the pet’s diagnosis.
Does my pet need a consultation before surgery?
Yes. A surgical consultation allows the veterinarian to examine your pet, review the diagnosis, discuss treatment options, and explain expected recovery. The team may also recommend bloodwork or imaging before scheduling the procedure so the surgical plan reflects your pet’s health and individual risks.
How is my pet monitored during surgery?
Pets are placed under anesthesia and monitored by the veterinary team throughout the procedure. Monitoring and pain management are selected according to the pet’s age, health, and surgery type, with continued observation during recovery until the pet is stable enough for discharge or further care.
What should I expect after my pet’s surgery?
Your pet may need medication, activity restriction, incision checks, an Elizabethan collar, and a follow up visit. The hospital provides discharge instructions based on the procedure, and owners should call if they notice worsening pain, bleeding, swelling, discharge, vomiting, breathing changes, or unusual weakness.
Is a deposit required when scheduling pet surgery?
The surgery page states that scheduled procedures require a 50 percent deposit. It also advises providing at least 48 hours notice for a cancellation to avoid forfeiting the deposit. Confirm the current policy with the hospital when your pet’s surgery date is arranged.
