Surgery

At Uniacke Lakes Animal Hospital, our main priority for your pet’s surgery is their safety; before, during and after the procedure. All of our patients are screened for proper organ function prior to any surgery and anesthetics are specifically tailored to suit the individual needs of your pet. Our veterinarians are skilled in the latest surgical techniques and our technicians are fully trained to administer and monitor anesthesia. Our very own Dr. Alison Pollard has performed thousands of surgeries in her career and is well known locally for her outstanding surgical skills. Should your pet require a more specialized surgery we also have access to orthopaedic surgeries at our sister hospitals in HRM or can refer your pet to surgical specialists when needed.

We offer a wide range of surgical services including:

• Spay/Neuter
• Soft Tissue Surgery
• Lumpectomy
• Specialized Cherry Eye Technique (gland of the 3rd eye lid surgery)
• Dental Surgery (extractions, soft tissue mass removals)
• Abdominal Surgery

When it comes to surgical procedures, the caring, qualified staff at Uniacke Lakes Animal Hospital is fully equipped to provide the best possible care while keeping your pet’s safety in mind at all times. We understand that any type of surgery can be stressful and aim to make the experience as comfortable and stress free as possible for both you and your beloved pet.
