The Akron-Medina Veterinary Hospital has complete surgical facilities staffed by dedicated professionals using up-to-date equipment. We provide a variety of surgical options. From spaying and neutering to advanced orthopedic surgeries, we are able to help your pet should the need arise. Our surgery suite gives us the versatility to perform many different types of surgeries here in our hospital.
General Surgery
When surgery is necessary, we take many precautions to make every surgery as safe as can be. Prior to anesthesia, all of our surgery patients have bloodwork run to check for any underlying diseases that could complicate anesthesia. All patients are hooked up to monitors that keep track of their vital signs (heart rate and rhythm, breathing rate, and oxygenation), and a technician is monitoring both your pet and the equipment to ensure safety throughout the procedure.
Laser Surgery
Using a non-contact mode that leaves no bruising, crushing or tearing after an incision, laser surgery is ideal for procedures such as removing tumors, eye surgeries, ear procedures and other soft tissue applications. The benefits include reduced blood loss, swelling and discomfort during and after surgery.
Spay & Neuter Surgery
We safely and painlessly perform spay and neuter surgeries. Spaying and neutering have many benefits for both you and your dog or cat. Find out more about the benefits at the Veterinary Information Network.
Surgical Intensive Care
We have special surgical intensive care facilities for post-operative evaluation and recovery with close monitoring by our trained staff.
