Advanced Soft Tissue Surgery
Surgery on eyes, ears, and other soft tissue areas.
Safe Anesthesia
Due to the small size of most domestic cats, the importance of safe anesthesia becomes even greater. Our staff is fully trained and knowledgeable of the techniques that are necessary for safe surgery. Modern veterinarian anesthesia includes human-grade pre-anesthetics as well as gas anesthesia. We believe that safety comes first with any procedure, especially those that require anesthesia. We monitor your pet throughout the entire process and administer fluids intravenously to ensure a safe and healthy recovery. Post-surgery we provide pain management via IV and oral methods and will transition them to a pain management protocol that can be provided to them at home.
Common Cat Surgeries
At Meadows Cat Hospital, our veterinarians have experience performing a number of soft tissue surgeries. Our soft tissue surgeries include:
- Routine spay and neuter
- In-heat spaying
- Pyometra spaying

We begin our care for your pet with pre-operative bloodwork to ensure that they are healthy enough to withstand and recover from the surgery. We will guide you through the entire process, as our staff believes in full communication with our patients' families. If your pet requires either routine or emergency surgery trust the vets at Meadows Cat Hospital to provide the necessary treatment for safe and effective procedures as well as a full recovery.
Following surgery, your cat will be kept comfortable and monitored while the effects of anesthesia wear off. Wanting to rest for the remainder of the day is normal, but if you’re concerned about your cat’s post-op behavior, please don’t hesitate to call us at (425) 392-8770.
