At Clarion Animal Hospital, we offer a state-of-the-art surgical suite where our veterinarians can perform a wide range of procedures, including some orthopedics. Our staff are highly trained and informed on anesthetic solutions to ensure the safety of our patients. Anesthesia is administered with age and risk factors taken into consideration. We also use the best anesthetic solutions available to maintain the highest level of safety for our patients, especially those that may be older and at a higher risk for complications. Every precaution is taken to protect your pet and ensure a smooth, swift recovery. Before scheduling your pet’s surgery, we require a consultation first to discuss their needs and answer any questions you have.
We also require a pre-anesthetic examination and blood work to assess the condition of your pet’s blood cells and organs. While your pet is in surgery, they will be monitored diligently by our veterinary team and kept comfortable with the appropriate pain management.
Specialty Care in a Familiar Environment
We’re proud to partner with MOVES (Mobile Veterinary Specialists) and board-certified veterinary surgeon Dr. Hope Chisnell to bring advanced surgical care directly to our hospital.
Dr. Chisnell is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (Small Animal), meaning she has completed extensive specialty training beyond veterinary school to perform complex procedures with a high level of precision and expertise.
Through this collaboration, pets can receive specialty-level surgery in a setting they already know and surrounded by a team they trust, without the added stress of traveling to a referral hospital.
Specialty Surgical Services Available
With Dr. Chisnell’s support, we’re able to offer a wider range of advanced procedures, including:
- Cruciate ligament repair (TPLO and related procedures)
- Fracture repair and stabilization
- Patellar luxation correction
- Joint stabilization procedures
- Advanced soft tissue surgery consultations
These procedures are typically only available at specialty centers, but through our partnership, they can now be performed right here at Clarion Animal Hospital.
