Laser Surgery to Spare Your Pet from Pain
If your pet ever needs surgery, you should know that the latest option is laser surgery. Using a state-of-the-art CO2 surgical laser, the veterinarian physicians at North Valley Pet Hospital perform a variety of surgical procedures.
Dr. William Dean is a skilled surgeon who performs all surgeries using the CO2 surgical laser to decrease pain, swelling and bleeding and hasten recovery. He performs routine veterinary surgeries such as spay and neuter as well as many specialized major surgeries.
Should You Declaw Your Cats?
Declawing is an amputation that has a three-week recovery time and can sometimes have long-lasting side effects. That’s why Dr. Dean only recommends declawing when it is necessary to save the life of your cat. Instead of declawing, they recommend:
- Soft paws (plastic caps that fit over your pet’s claws)
- Scratching posts placed in high-traffic locations
- Other alternatives to scratching
