Pet Vascular Surgery by Referral
Our vascular surgical services are available on a referral basis. We will communicate with you to address any questions you may have about surgery, including concerns about anesthesia, pain management, or postoperative care. Additionally, your pet’s primary veterinarian will receive a written report outlining the diagnosis and treatment received from our veterinary specialty center. In some cases, you may be able to take your pet to their primary veterinarian for any needed follow-up care.
