Pet Surgery in Greenville, NC
Surgery helps improve lives for many pets by correcting and even preventing certain illnesses. At Trinity Veterinary Hospital, we perform a variety of routine and urgent soft tissue surgeries. Our veterinarians are also trained in using a surgical laser, which is superior to a scalpel as it helps to speed your pet’s recovery.
Why use a surgical laser for pet surgery?
A surgical laser cuts through tissue in a different way than a scalpel. Instead of bruising and puncturing the skin, the laser cauterizes the tissue and blood vessels as it cuts, which offers several benefits to your pet:
- Reduces pain and inflammation
- Reduces bleeding
- Decreases the risk of infection
- Decreases bruising

How We Ensure Your Pet’s Safety Before, During & After Surgery
We use the same strict safety precautions for every surgical procedure to minimize their risks and maximize surgical success.
Safety protocols we employ:
- Pre-anesthetic blood work and an exam prior to the procedure
- IV catheter placement to supply fluids to your pet
- A surgical technician who monitors your pet from start to finish
- Monitoring equipment that tracks all your pet’s vitals
- Pain medication to reduce discomfort throughout the procedure and recovery
