Pet Surgery Services Offered

A few of the surgical services available at Essex Animal Hospital include:

  • Orthopedic Surgery - Orthopedic surgeries involve surgical procedures that encompass the skeletal system, such as concerns with bones, ligaments, joints, and tendons. Our services range from treating orthopedic injuries such as fractures to addressing orthopedic diseases and any acquired conditions or abnormalities detected.
  • Soft-Tissue Surgery - Essentially any surgery that does not deal with orthopedic issues, soft-tissue surgery can refer to several different procedures and be performed at almost any part of the body that is being affected. From routine spaying/neutering and wound/trauma care, to C-sections and advanced internal surgeries, our office provides a vast array of soft-tissue-related services for your loved one.
  • Anesthesia - After pre-screening tests verify your pet can safely handle anesthesia within his or her system, our combination of injected and inhalant anesthetics are administered, and our close monitoring of your pet’s vitals ensure that the procedure is going smoothly. Fluids provided throughout the surgery help with sustaining normal blood pressure levels in addition to assisting with a swift recovery from the medication.
  • Pain Management - Helping alleviate your pet’s pain is one of our most important services we provide, and your pet’s comfort and safety are our top priorities.
