Terra Linda Veterinary Hospital - Pet, Animal Laser Surgery

Your pet's health is as important to us as it us to you. We are pleased to offer laser surgery as an exciting new option for safe, comfortable treatment. In many procedures the laser can replace the scalpel and provide a better alternative to traditional surgery.

WHY LASER SURGERY ?

Less Pain - Laser energy seals nerve endings as it moves through tissue. Your pets feel less post-operative pain.

Less Bleeding- The laser seals small blood vessels during surgery with extraordinary precision. This also speeds some procedures reducing the need for anesthesia

Less Swelling- Laser surgery does not crush, bear or bruise because only a beam of intense light contacts the tissue.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR MY PET ?

Reduced risk of infection - The laser sterilizes as it removes diseased tissue, killing bacteria that cause infection.

Precision - The laser can remove unhealthy tissue while minimizing adverse affects to healthy surrounding tissue.

Quick return to normal activities - Recovery is rapid and there is less post-operative discomfort.

ARE LASERS NEW ?

Lasers have been successfully used on humans for over 30 years. This human experience is proving to be beneficial to pets and their owners. We are pleased to be among the first veterinary practices to offer laser surgery specifically for pets.

WHAT TYPES OF PROCEDURES CAN A LASER PERFORM ?

A laser is ideal for a wide variety of surgical procedures for dogs, cats, birds, and other pets. Laser surgery can correct many common conditions such as cysts, tumors, warts and infections that may occur around the eyes, ears, in the mouth, and anywhere on the skin. Specialized internal procedures are also possible. Your veterinarian will be able to tell you if your pet's procedure can be performed with a laser.
