Surgery

The veterinarians at Perkins Road Veterinary Hospital bring extensive knowledge and expertise in a wide variety of surgical procedures to pet owners in the Baton Rouge metro area, nearby Gonzales, Zachary, or Walker, as well as the surrounding areas of Louisiana. We perform a number of routine and complex surgeries including spays and neuters, a wide range of soft tissue surgeries, and dental surgeries.

Our doctors will conduct an evaluation to determine if surgery is the best option for your pet’s condition. If surgery is deemed necessary, you can rest assured that our experienced veterinarians and staff will take the utmost care of your pet and treat it as our own. Since every pet is unique, we complete an assessment prior to surgery so that we can screen for any abnormalities or conditions that may be problematic.

It’s very common for people to be concerned about their pet undergoing anesthesia, especially when their older pet needs a procedure. To ensure your pet’s safety, we will use the information from our evaluations and take into consideration your pet’s species, breed, age, and health to create an anesthetic protocol best suited to your pet.

Once the surgery is complete, your pet will be brought out of anesthesia and our staff will continue to monitor vital signs and pain levels. We will keep your pet on site where our veterinarian can supervise the recovery until your pet is well enough to go home with you. All surgeries are followed up with a post-surgical examination and rehabilitation if needed.

Whether your pet is of the age to be spayed or neutered or needs a different surgical procedure, the doctors and staff at Perkins Road Veterinary Hospital are here for you. Contact us today for more information.
