Surgical Care
When your pet requires the best in veterinary surgical care, turn to Kings Veterinary Hospital. Dr. Paul LeCompte and the veterinarians at Kings Veterinary Hospital can perform a variety of procedures for your pet. Your pet has access to the latest veterinary surgical equipment at our hospital, from advanced monitoring devices to the latest laser surgery equipment. We have extensive experience with soft tissue procedures, from routine spay/neuter surgeries to more complex surgeries. We are also capable of performing some orthopedic surgeries, including patella luxation repair and anterior cruciate rupture repairs. Additionally, we work closely with surgical specialists when needed.
Laser Surgery
Veterinary laser surgery is ideal for a number of procedures, including feline declaws, stenotic nares repair, elongated soft palate resection, tumor excision and life-saving limb amputations. There are many benefits to using laser surgery for these procedures. The surgical laser minimizes pain, swelling and bleeding during and after surgery, as well as minimizes post operative infection. Because of this, your pet's recovery time is shorter and he or she is in less pain following the procedure. Please ask our veterinarians for more information about how laser surgery can benefit your pet.
Anesthesia & Pain Management
At Kings Veterinary Hospital, we strive to make your pet's surgical procedure as comfortable and stress-free as possible. To ensure your pet's safety and comfort, we perform a complete physical examination and offer preoperative blood testing. We use these tests to identify any pre-existing conditions that may affect the use of anesthesia on your pet. We develop an anesthetic protocol that's unique to your pet using the information collected from these tests.
During surgery, your pet's vital signs are monitored using sophisticated monitoring equipment. Your pet is kept warm and comfortable during the procedure and one of our specially-trained veterinary technicians keeps a close watch on your pet.
Pain management is an important part of our intra- and post-operative protocol. Following surgery, we administer pain control medications to your pet. We may also send pain medication home with you if necessary. Preventing post-operative pain keeps your pet comfortable and speeds up his or her recovery time.
Cancer Treatment
As pets live longer, we see more cases of cancer. While the diagnosis may be scary, it is important to realize there are many types of cancers, some of which can respond well to various treatments such as surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Kings Veterinary Hospital works closely with local oncology specialists to provide the best cancer care for your pets.
