Veterinary Surgical Services offers a unique approach to surgical care for cats, where the entire focus of our practice is surgery. 

Our facility provides excellent surgical and nursing care. Our surgery center is equipped with the most modern equipment available, including a heated surgery table and an intravenous fluid warmer and bair hugger to help prevent hypothermia. We routinely monitor oxygen saturation, heart rate, respiratory rate, plane of anesthesia and blood pressure on our anesthetized patients. In addition, we carry many of the same pieces of surgical equipment used for similar procedures in people.

Each surgery patient is monitored in the O.R. by an anesthesia technician with modern monitoring devices. Depending on the surgery, Dr. Hay may have one to three O.R. technicians assisting him during the surgery. Our facility also includes radiology and a laboratory with blood and urine analysis capabilities. Intensive care, post operative pain management and antibiotic treatments, if needed, are provided to each patient leaving the O.R. Each patient is assigned a well trained veterinary technician to monitor and care for them throughout the entire admission to post- operative recovery period. This assures continuity of treatments and that each patient gets the intensive care they deserve.
