Surgery may not always be the only option, Palm Bay Animal Clinic is happy to offer any alternatives
We can perform many of these treatments and procedures on-site and, when necessary, can make recommendations for referral to veterinary specialists in the area. Before any surgical procedure is performed, our veterinarians will discuss any recommended pre-surgical blood work or other diagnostic testing to help ensure your pet is a good candidate for anesthesia.
Our staff will consistently monitor your pet's vital signs during surgery and oversee their safe recovery from anesthesia. Of course, our veterinarians will always discuss the alternative options to surgery such as possible medical management of your pet’s condition.
