Surgical Services                          

                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Surgical Surgical procedures are done daily, and while some are extremely common, we consider none to be routine.  At Iron Mountain Animal Hospital great care is taken that nothing interfere with continued patient monitoring whenever anesthesia or sedation is needed.  We pride ourselves on the record we have established with respect to our surgical successes.

Our highly skilled veterinarians are capable of performing many surgeries.  While spaying, neutering and declawing are performed most frequently, our surgeons also have extensive experience in orthopedic, gastrointestinal, urological, ear/nose/throat, oncologic and other complex surgery.  Monitoring of all parameters of our anesthetized patients is performed using sophisticated equipment measuring heart rate, internal temperature, and oxygen saturation of the red blood cells, as well as pulse and respiration.  A continuous EKG is also employed for the saftey of your pet undergoing a surgical procedure.

Before surgery, your pet will undergo pre-anesthesia blood testing to determine the effect of anesthesia on your pet's body. We take special care when administering anesthesia to your pet.  For your pet's recovery, we engage in a comprehensive pain management program, including non-sedating, non-steroid based medications, anti-inflammatory medication, pain patches and constant rate infusions of pain killer for relief of extreme pain.
