Soft Tissue & Orthopedic Dog and Cat Surgery in Westfield and Union, NJ
Surgery can be a scary prospect for your pet and you! Yet, at Westfield Veterinary Group, we use the latest technology and best practices to minimize any risks and ensure your pet experiences a smooth recovery. Our skilled veterinarians perform both soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries, meaning you can trust our team no matter what surgery your pet needs.
Safety First
Your pet’s safety and comfort before, during, and after surgery are our highest priorities. This focus starts well before any procedure begins and lasts through their waking from anesthesia. We ensure their safety through the following protocols:
- Before the procedure, we perform age-appropriate pre-anesthetic blood testing to make sure your pet’s organs are functioning properly and can effectively process and eliminate anesthesia.
- During surgery, we use the latest anesthetic techniques as well as sophisticated equipment which continuously monitors your pet’s heart rate, body temperature, and oxygen levels throughout the procedure and recovery.
- Pain management is an integral part of our pre- and post-operative protocol. Pain medication not only keeps your pet comfortable, but it also helps ensure a faster recovery. Our veterinarians are experts in pain management and use the safest and most effective medications available.
