Veterinary Acupuncture for Cats & Dogs in Boynton Beach, FL

When your pet needs surgery, you want to feel confident they’re in careful, experienced hands. At Colonial Animal Hospital and Colonial Gateway Veterinary Center, we provide both routine and advanced surgical care with a strong focus on comfort, safety, and communication. Our team walks you through each step so you know what to expect before, during, and after your pet’s procedure.

Your Pet’s Safety Comes First

Every surgical procedure begins with a thorough exam and pre-anesthetic bloodwork to confirm your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia. An IV catheter allows us to administer fluids during surgery to support hydration and stable blood pressure.

Throughout the procedure, a trained technician continuously monitors your pet’s heart rate, breathing, oxygen levels, and temperature. We respond immediately to even small changes to maintain safety. After surgery, we provide individualized pain management and careful recovery monitoring to help your pet wake up comfortably and return home safely.
