Surgery


 

Timberline Veterinary Emergency & Specialty now offers Surgery Services for soft tissue and orthopedic procedures. Surgeries are available Tuesday through Friday for direct referrals and transfers. (Our emergency service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for patients who need emergency stabilization and specific emergency surgeries.)

Our hospital can offer these specialty surgeries, thanks to the dedication of our expertly trained team, including Board-Certified Veterinary Surgeons. These doctors receive additional intensive training through internships and surgical residencies, specifically in technically difficult surgical procedures. Our surgery department also has the specialized equipment, advanced anesthesia, blood products, and post-operative ICU needed to care for patients with complicated orthopedic and soft tissue problems.

The Surgical Service at Timberline Veterinary offers a variety of procedures.
