Our Laparoscopic Spay Procedure:
What you need to know
The Laparoscopic Spay is a minimally invasive technique which
utilizes a thin instrument with a camera to view the internal structures
of the abdomen. The procedure is performed with one tiny incision,
about the size of a small paperclip, and the ovarian ligament is
carefully ligated and cauterized, rather than torn. Post surgical pain
is GREATLY reduced up to 65% and she will be able to go home the SAME
day!
Our surgery table and kennels are heated, keeping your pet warm and
comfortable during her surgery and recovery. Also, a trained anesthetist
will carefully monitor her in addition to state of the art electronic
monitors that constantly check her heart rate, blood pressure, ECG,
temperature, respiratory rate, blood oxygen saturation, and exhaled
carbon dioxide content.
