Pet Surgery: Faster Healing and Less Pain with Laser Technology

We are happy to provide our clients looking the least invasive and most painless treatment for their pets with laser surgery, a cutting-edge new technology.

Tired of the thought of your pet going through traditional surgery? Maillardville Animal Hospital offers cutting-edge laser surgery solution

Just like in human medicine, lasers are now used in veterinary care to provide numerous benefits for your furry friend. Here’s why laser surgery might be the perfect choice for your pet:

• Reduced Pain: Imagine having surgery that simultaneously connects spinal connections! That’s exactly what laser surgery does—it reduces your pet’s discomfort after surgery.
• Less Bleeding: Say goodbye to excessive blood loss. Lasers seal small blood vessels during surgery, leading to a shorter procedure and a quicker recovery.

• Minimized Swelling: Laser technology uses light instead of a scalpel, resulting in less damage to surrounding tissues and less swelling after surgery.

• Extreme Precision: Lasers act like tiny, super-focused swords, removing only the targeted tissue and leaving healthy areas untouched.

• Infection Busters: During surgery, the intense heat produced by the laser beam kills bacteria and other germs, lowering the risk of infection.

• Faster Recovery Time: With less pain, bleeding, and swelling, your pet will bounce back quicker from laser surgery and return to their playful self sooner.

Thinking about scheduling surgery for your pet? We recommend downloading our pre-operative instructions for pets to prepare for their hospital stay. Feel free to call us in advance if you have any questions or want to discuss your pet’s specific needs with our veterinarians or technicians.
