Our Specialized Surgical Services
We offer a comprehensive range of surgical services tailored to the needs of pets in the Phoenix area. Our expertise lies in procedures performed under general anesthesia, utilizing modern monitoring equipment to ensure safety throughout the operation.
Common Surgical Procedures
Spay and Neuter Surgeries (Ovariohysterectomy and Castration): Essential procedures for population control, preventing certain health issues, and reducing behavioral problems. Soft Tissue Surgery: This includes a wide range of procedures such as foreign body removal, tumor removal, wound repair, incision and drainage of abscesses, and repair of traumatic injuries. Dental Surgery: While general dental cleanings are often performed, complex dental issues requiring tooth extraction or advanced oral surgery fall under our specialized scope. Exploratory Surgery: When a pet's internal issue requires a diagnostic approach, our team performs exploratory laparotomies or thoracotomies to identify and address the problem. Mass Removal: Removal of benign and malignant tumors is a common reason for surgical intervention. Chronic Disease Management Surgery: Procedures like gastrostomy tube placement for long-term feeding support.Our surgical facility is designed with your pet's comfort and safety as the top priority. We utilize advanced anesthesia monitoring, including electrocardiogram (ECG), pulse oximetry (SpO2), capnography (end-tidal CO2), and temperature regulation systems. Stringent surgical protocols are followed before, during, and after each procedure to minimize risks and promote optimal healing.
Your Role in Your Pet's Surgical Journey
We believe that informed pet owners are crucial partners in their pet's healthcare. During your consultation, our team will discuss the recommended procedure, potential risks and benefits, recovery process, and any necessary aftercare instructions. We encourage you to ask questions and express any concerns you may have.
Pre-operative bloodwork and sometimes imaging (like X-rays or ultrasound) are often recommended to ensure your pet is a suitable candidate for surgery and to help us plan the procedure effectively. Following our pre-operative fasting instructions is vital for your pet's safety under anesthesia.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What types of surgeries does Dr. Kelly's Surgical Unit perform?
A: We specialize in a range of surgical procedures including routine spay and neuter surgeries, soft tissue surgery (removal of foreign bodies, tumors, repair of wounds), exploratory surgery when necessary, mass removal, and dental surgeries (including extractions). Our focus is on surgical interventions performed under general anesthesia.
Q2: How do I prepare my pet for surgery at your clinic?
A: Preparation instructions will be provided during your pre-operative consultation. Generally, this includes withholding food the night before surgery (water is usually permitted) and bringing your pet's records and any previous diagnostic test results (like bloodwork or X-rays) to the appointment. Our team will give you specific fasting guidelines.
Q3: What happens during the surgical process?
A: Before surgery, your pet will undergo a thorough physical examination and often recommended pre-operative bloodwork. On the day of surgery, your pet will be admitted, and IV fluids will be started. Advanced monitoring equipment tracks vital signs throughout the procedure. The surgery itself is performed by a veterinarian, often assisted by a trained surgical technologist. Post-operatively, your pet will be closely monitored in our recovery area until stable.
Q4: What is the typical recovery period after surgery?
A: Recovery time varies significantly depending on the type and complexity of the surgery performed. Minor procedures like simple wound repairs might require only a few days of restricted activity and pain management at home. More invasive surgeries, such as spay or orthopedic procedures, require a longer recovery period, often involving several weeks of restricted exercise, medication, and follow-up care. Our team will provide detailed post-operative instructions during your discharge and follow-up appointments.
Q5: What should I do if I notice complications after my pet's surgery?
A: It is normal for pets to experience some discomfort or lethargy after surgery, but certain signs warrant immediate veterinary attention. These include persistent vomiting or diarrhea, excessive pain or restlessness despite medication, signs of infection (redness, swelling, discharge at the incision site with foul odor), difficulty breathing, or worsening lethargy. Please contact our clinic immediately if you observe any concerning symptoms. Do not hesitate to reach out to us, especially outside regular business hours if necessary, as per our emergency protocol.
