It’s natural to be worried at the thought of your beloved companion undergoing surgery. Here at River City Veterinary Hospital and Resort, we understand that concern and have done our best to become the most highly educated, experienced, and skilled veterinary surgical team in the Palatka, Hollister, and San Mateo areas. Whether your pet is scheduled for a routine spay or neuter or a more complex soft-tissue procedure, trust that your best friend is in excellent hands with our team.

When your pet is scheduled for a surgery with our team, rest assured they will be treated like a member of the family. Care and compassion from our surgical nursing team will keep your pal relaxed, pain-free, and warm, while skill and experience from our operating team will ensure your pet’s surgery goes smoothly.

Before your pet goes under anesthesia, we carefully evaluate their health through blood work and additional diagnostic testing if necessary. This information helps us choose the safest anesthetic protocol to keep your furry loved one pain-free and comfortable before, during, and after the procedure. During your pet’s surgery, we closely monitor their vital functions to ensure they are warm and appropriately anesthetized. After surgery, we snuggle your pal as they recover from anesthesia and surgery, keeping an eye on their vital signs, comfort, warmth, and pain levels. Once your pet is fully awake, we send them back home to be in your arms for their recovery period.
