Surgery

At Amigo Animal Clinic, we provide surgical care with a focus on safety, comfort, and individualized treatment for every dog and cat. Our approach includes modern anesthetic agents and continuous monitoring to minimize risks and ensure your pet’s well-being. We keep owners involved every step of the way by providing real-time text and call updates throughout their pet’s procedure, ensuring peace of mind while your pet is in our care.

What to Expect

During surgery, your pet is placed under general anesthesia, with oxygen and anesthetic gas delivered through a breathing tube. An intravenous (IV) catheter is used to administer fluids, and we rely on advanced monitoring equipment to track vital signs such as heart rate, oxygen levels, and blood pressure. Our experienced veterinary team carefully oversees every stage of the procedure—from preparation through post-operative recovery.


Soft Tissue & Orthopedic Surgery

We provide both soft tissue and orthopedic surgical services to treat a variety of medical conditions and injuries in dogs and cats:

Soft Tissue Surgeries

Soft tissue procedures involve the skin, muscles, and internal organs. Common examples include:

  • Spay and neuter surgeries
  • Mass or lump removals
  • Bladder stone removal
  • Intestinal foreign body removal
  • Laceration repair
  • Gastropexy (to prevent stomach twisting in at-risk breeds)

Orthopedic Surgeries

Orthopedic surgeries focus on the bones, joints, and ligaments. These procedures help pets recover from injuries and regain mobility. Examples include:

  • TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) for ACL/CCL injuries
  • Fracture repair
  • Luxating patella correction
  • Joint stabilization procedures
  • Amputations (when medically necessary)

Each surgery includes tailored pain management and a post-operative recovery plan to ensure your pet heals comfortably.


Cryosurgery

We also offer cryosurgery, a non-invasive technique that uses extreme cold to safely remove small skin growths or lesions. It’s a gentle option for certain benign conditions.
