Our Veterinary Surgery Services

At Acres Veterinary Clinic, we perform both soft tissue and select orthopedic surgeries. Every patient receives personalized attention, pre-anesthetic screening, and monitored care from start to finish.

Routine & Preventive Surgeries

Spays and Neuters

Gastropexy (stomach tack to prevent GDV in at-risk breeds)

Neonatal Tail Docking and Dewclaw Removal (within 3–5 days of birth)

Soft Tissue and Corrective Surgeries

Mass and Tumor Removals

Laceration Repair and Wound Management

Ear Hematoma Correction

Enucleation (Eye Removal)

Splenectomy

Pyometra Treatment

Foreign Body Removal (gastric, intestinal, or colonic)

Endoscopy & Specialized Procedures

We offer endoscopic foreign body removal for eligible cases—an effective, minimally invasive option to avoid open surgery when appropriate. For complex or advanced procedures, we can arrange care through trusted mobile surgical specialists who come to our clinic.

Safe and Comfortable Care from Start to Finish

Surgical safety is our top priority. Every pet undergoing inhalant anesthesia receives:

Pre-anesthetic bloodwork

IV catheter and fluid therapy

Continuous monitoring (including pulse oximetry, ECG, blood pressure, and body temperature)

Warming devices to maintain body temperature

Fasting and pre-op instructions for safe preparation

Post-operative pain management and recovery care

We’ll walk you through every detail—what to expect the night before, the day of surgery, and how to care for your pet afterward. Most patients are dropped off in the morning and are ready to return home by mid to late afternoon, depending on their recovery.

Why Veterinary Surgery Matters

Veterinary surgery can be life-saving, pain-relieving, or preventative. Addressing surgical needs promptly can prevent complications, improve quality of life, and support long-term health.

Conditions like GDV, tumors, pyometra, and foreign bodies require immediate attention, while procedures like spaying, neutering, or gastropexy can reduce future risks and support a healthier life.
