Performing a Variety of Soft Tissue Surgeries

The Animal Care Center of Ooltewah has an exceptional surgical preparation area and operating room. Utilizing the latest surgical techniques and instruments, we perform a wide variety of soft tissue surgeries. 

We want all our patients to have intravenous catheters with supplemental fluids inter-operatively. Prior to surgery, we highly recommend pre-surgical blood work. 

Your doctor would not want to take you to surgery without blood work; would you want to take your pet? We have both conventional surgical equipment as well as a radiosurgical unit to minimize bleeding and enable us to do surgery on very small patients. 

During Anesthesia we monitor:
  • Blood Pulse Oximetry (blood oxygen levels)
  • Respiration
  • Blood Pressure
  • ECG
  • End Tidal Carbon Dioxide
  • Body Temperature
Your pet will also be monitored throughout surgery by our talented veterinary technicians to ensure all procedures are safe.

Hospitalization and Treatment

In addition to providing hospitalization for our patients needing medical and surgical treatment, the center of the hospital is a large treatment area where animals needing special care and attention will receive:
  • Constant Observation
  • Intravenous Fluid Therapy
  • Oxygen
  • Recovery Time
  • Trauma Treatment
In addition, we have constructed a specially designed Isolation Facility with one-way air flow where those who might be contagious to our other patients are kept. For very small pets, we have a pediatric incubator where the pet can be warmed and given Humidified Oxygen and warmed fluids. Please note that we only offer medical boarding.
