Surgical Services for Pets

At Avenue Animal Hospital we are proud to offer surgical procedures for dogs and cats in Saint John, relying on stringent surgical protocols to support your pet's recovery and safety. 

In the course of each surgery we perform, one of the members of our veterinary team will continuously monitor your companion using our electronic patient monitoring equipment. We will also provide pain management to your pet throughout their operation.

Post-operative monitoring and pain management are our priorities following surgery. Your vet will also provide thorough instructions for at-home care.

What to Expect from Surgery

Our veterinarians will always keep you fully informed about why we are recommending a surgical procedure as well as provide you with the information you need about any post-operative care that your pet will need while at home.

The Surgery Process

We know that the prospect of bringing your pet in to see us for surgical treatment can be a bit of a frightening one. Because of this, we want to assure you that we take pains to only recommend surgeries when they are in the best interests of your companion.

We will explain our reasoning for recommending surgery as a treatment option for your pet and will ensure that you are comfortable with making the decision to move ahead.

If your pet requires advanced care, our vets will refer you to a veterinary surgeon near Saint John, and work closely with your vet surgeon to ensure that your pet receives the best possible care. 

Surgical protocols at our clinic include:

Pre-surgical assessments. We will make sure we have the specifics of the procedure clearly outlined and will conduct a comprehensive examination of your patient - making sure that blood tests have been completed and reviewed to check for risk of anaesthesia-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 all wear disposable caps and masks while in the surgical suite. Those who are involved in the procedure itself will also wear gloves and sterile gowns to help to prevent complications and promote cleanliness.

Sterile packs and equipment. We carefully clean, sterilize and wrap our surgical instruments and equipment prior to every surgery.
