Pet Surgery

We utilize a CO2 laser for many surgical procedures performed at the clinic. Advantages of using a CO2 laser include:

1. Less Pain: The laser seals nerve endings as it “cuts.” As a result, your pet will experience less pain and be more comfortable post-operatively.
2. Less Bleeding: The laser seals small blood vessels during surgery. This speeds many procedures, reducing the time your pet needs to be under anesthesia which further reduces possible complications.
3. Less Swelling: Laser energy does not crush, tear or bruise tissue because the only thing that touches your pet is an invisible beam of light.
4. Reduced risk of infection: As the laser removes diseased tissue, it seals the skin and reduces the amount of bacteria present.
5. Quick return to normal activity: Healing is rapid and there is less post-operative discomfort to allow better healing.
