Veterinary Surgery
At Green Trails Animal Clinic, we offer a range of surgical procedures for cats and dogs and always practice stringent surgical protocols.
We understand that the idea of bringing your pet in for surgery can be stressful. Please know that we only recommend surgery when it is the best option for your pet's health.
We will ensure that you fully understand why we are recommending surgery, and that you are comfortable making the decision to move ahead.
If your pet requires advanced care, our vets will refer you to a veterinary surgeon near Lisle, and work closely with your vet surgeon to ensure that your pet receives the best possible care.
What to Expect from Surgery
We always keep you fully informed about why we are recommending a surgical procedure. Our vets will provide you with detailed instructions about pre- and post-operative care and take the time to answer any questions you might have about your pet's surgery.
Surgical Procedures
At Green Trails Animal Clinic, we perform medical surgeries to help treat disease and conditions in pets or to repair injuries sustained through trauma.
Our Lisle vets routinely perform the following elective and non-elective surgeries:
The Surgery Process
During each surgery, a dedicated veterinary technician will administer anesthesia and continuously monitor your pet using electronic patient monitoring equipment. Pain management will also be provided.
Post-operative monitoring and pain management are our priorities following surgery. For your best friend’s comfort, Green Trails Animal Clinic features a heated animal recovery area with skylights for natural lighting.
Your vet will also provide thorough instructions for at-home care.
Surgical protocols at our clinic include:
Pre-surgical assessments. We will confirm the specifics of the procedure, complete a physical examination of the patient, and make sure blood tests have been completed and reviewed by the vet in order to determine if your pet faces any risk of anesthesia-related complications.
Dedicated surgical suites. Surgeries are performed in a dedicated surgical suite. This room is kept completely sterile to prevent infection and cross-contamination.
Surgical attire. Our staff wears disposable caps and masks at all times when they are in the surgical suite. Those involved in the procedure itself will also wear sterile gowns and single-use gloves.
Sterile packs and equipment. We carefully clean, sterilize and wrap our surgical instruments and equipment prior to every surgery.
