Surgical Procedures We Perform

At Round Rock Animal Hospital, we perform a range of routine surgical procedures, including the following:

  • Routine spay and neuter
  • Dentistry
  • Tumor removal
  • Abdominal and soft tissue procedures
  • Orthopedic surgery

What Happens During a Veterinary Surgery

We strive to make the surgery process as comfortable and stress-free as possible for your pet. In the best interests of our pet, we require a physical examination appointment with one of our doctors before scheduling procedures. This includes a physical examination, blood tests, and imaging studies (if necessary) to ensure your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia and the procedure. Once cleared, the pet is prepared for surgery by administering pre-anesthetic medications to help them relax and provide pain relief. The surgical site is then shaved and cleaned to create a sterile field.

The veterinary team induces general anesthesia in the operating room and monitors your pet's vital signs throughout the procedure. After the surgery is complete, the incision is closed with sutures or surgical staples. The pet is then moved to a recovery area where they’re closely monitored as they wake up from anesthesia.

About Fishers Animal Hospital

Post-Surgery Pet Care

After surgery, your pet will require special care to ensure proper healing. This typically includes pain management through prescribed medications, careful wound care to prevent infection, and follow-up appointments to monitor recovery progress. Some patients may be able to go home the same day as their procedure, whereas others may need an overnight stay or referral to a 24-hour care facility. Your pet’s veterinary team will advise you on what is best for your pet and discuss aftercare for your companion.

Your veterinarian will provide specific instructions tailored to your pet's needs, which may include restricted activity, special feeding guidelines, or the use of protective collars. Throughout this process, from pre-operative care to full recovery, the veterinary team at Round Rock prioritizes your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being, ensuring the best possible outcome for your furry family member.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there any recommended pre-surgical testing?

Baseline lab testing is important before surgery to help avoid any unexpected issues on the day of the procedure. Bloodwork can reveal conditions, like low platelet counts or abnormal clotting, that may increase the risk of complications such as excessive bleeding. If liver or kidney disease is detected, your veterinarian may adjust the anesthetic plan to ensure a safer experience and smoother recovery for your pet.

Are there any food and water intake restrictions before surgery?

A period of fasting may be necessary prior to your pet’s procedure. Our staff will let you know what is recommended for your pet’s specific procedure.

What procedures are done on the day of surgery?

Our staff will walk you through everything that will happen on the day of the surgery, from initial intake to sedation and general anesthesia, anesthesia monitoring, the procedure, and recovery.

What is the discharge and aftercare process like after surgery?

Some patients may be able to go home the same day as their procedure, whereas others may need an overnight stay or referral to a 24-hour care facility. The veterinary team will advise you as to what is best for your pet, and also discuss aftercare for your companion and any rechecks needed.
