Spay and Neutering

When you are thinking about having your animal spayed or neutered we encourage you to visit us at The Centre Street Animal Hospital in Thornhill to discuss all of the available options.  We will discuss what is involved in the spaying or neutering procedure as well as give you a tour of our facilities where the operation will be taking place and provide guidance so that you can make the best choice for your pet.

Laser Surgery

At Centre Street Animal Hospital we use laser surgery whenever possible.  Laser surgery can be quite beneficial for your loved one for many reasons.  The first and most important would be that they will experience less pain than if the surgery was to be done the more traditional way.  Furthermore, there is less bleeding and less swelling in the area where the procedure will take place.  Laser surgery also allows extreme precision and reduces the risk of infection which leads to a faster recovery. We want the Spaying or Neutering of your pet to be as easy and safe as possible.

Before the Spay or Neutering surgery we provide preliminary blood work to ensure that your pet will be able to accept the anesthetic medications.  During surgery we monitor your pet's blood pressure, heart rate, ECG, carbon dioxide and oxygen saturation, exactly as in a human hospital.  IV fluids are administered throughout the procedure to keep blood pressure stable.  An IV also provides us with immediate access to the vein for drug administration.
