Surgery

At Sheridan, we understand that surgery can feel overwhelming, but you can trust that your pet is in caring and capable hands. We offer a range of procedures—from routine spays and neuters to advanced soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries—performed with the highest standards of safety and compassion. To ensure your pet is ready for anesthesia, we always run pre-anesthetic bloodwork before every procedure. After surgery, we take the time to go over detailed at-home care instructions with you, so you feel confident supporting your pet’s recovery every step of the way.

Spaying and neutering are routine surgical procedures that offer long-term health and behavioral benefits for your pet. We usually recommend having this procedure done at around 6 months of age. Spaying involves the removal of the ovaries and uterus in females, while neutering (castration) involves the removal of the testicles in males. These procedures help prevent unwanted litters, reduce the risk of certain cancers and infections, and may lessen undesirable behaviors such as roaming, marking, or aggression.

At Sheridan, your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. For all canine spays and neuters, as well as feline spays, we place an intravenous (IV) catheter and administer fluids throughout the procedure. This supports healthy blood pressure, protects vital organs like the kidneys, and ensures immediate IV access in the rare event of an emergency.

A trained veterinary technician closely monitors your pet’s anesthesia and vital signs from start to finish. We also use advanced pain management protocols—before, during, and after surgery—to keep your pet as comfortable as possible throughout the entire process. After the procedure, we’ll walk you through personalized at-home care instructions to help ensure a smooth, stress-free recovery.

Spay and Neuter

Soft tissue surgery includes a wide range of procedures involving the skin, muscles, and internal organs—everything from lump removals and wound repairs to more complex surgeries involving the abdomen or chest. At Sheridan, we approach each procedure with precision, care, and a focus on your pet’s safety and comfort.

Before surgery, we perform pre-anesthetic bloodwork to evaluate your pet’s overall health. For applicable procedures, we place an IV catheter and provide fluids during surgery to help maintain stable blood pressure and support vital organ function. A dedicated veterinary technician monitors anesthesia and vital signs throughout the procedure, ensuring your pet stays safe at every stage.

We also use advanced pain management techniques tailored to your pet’s needs, so they stay as comfortable as possible both during surgery and recovery. After the procedure, we’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions and support to help your pet heal smoothly at home.

Soft Tissue

Orthopedic surgery focuses on conditions involving your pet’s bones, joints, and ligaments—such as fractures, torn cruciate ligaments, and joint instability. At [Your Clinic Name], we partner with a board-certified surgical specialist who travels to our clinic to perform these advanced procedures. This allows your pet to receive expert care in a familiar, trusted environment without the stress of traveling to a referral hospital.

With the same attention to safety and comfort we bring to all our surgeries, we ensure your pet is closely monitored throughout the procedure and supported with tailored pain management for a smooth recovery. We’ll also provide clear aftercare instructions and ongoing support as your pet heals and regains mobility.

It minimizes bleeding, reduces pain and swelling, and promotes faster healing with less post-operative discomfort. At [Your Clinic Name], we offer laser surgery for select procedures to enhance your pet’s comfort and recovery. It’s a gentle, highly effective option that can make a big difference
