Soft Tissue Surgery

Soft Tissue Surgery

At Farm and Family Veterinary Service, we perform a wide range of soft tissue surgeries including mass/growth removal, laceration repairs and exploratory surgeries.  Other examples include but are not limited to bladder stone removal, entropion repair, and intestinal foreign body removal.

Dr. Yeley strives for a modern approach to inesthesia in order to safely address every surgical patient's specific needs. This includes safer anesthesia protocols, topnotch patient monitoring and supportive care during surgery, along with post operative pain management. Our clinic is equipped with a knowledgeable staff and modern equipment to help us achieve this goal. Laser therapy also helps us better serve our patients during the healing process. We use state of the art outside laboratories for complete diagnosis of oncology (tumor) samples and for preanesthetic testing.

• Payment is due at time of service.
