Surgical Procedures
Surgeries are an essential part of our work here at Belle River Animal Clinic. We undertake blood tests of your pet before surgical procedures and perform physical exams. This helps ascertain the anesthetic that suits the species, breed and age specification of your pet. Even during the procedure, we keep an eye on its vitals like heart rate, oxygen level and respiratory rate. Our operating theatre is well-equipped with anesthetic equipment, heart monitors, and other relevant equipment to help provide your pets with a complete care option during surgeries.
Along with surgical procedures, we also offer orthopedic and soft tissue surgeries such as:
Femoral head and neck osteotomy
Lumpectomy
We also offer post-operative monitoring and care at our clinic. To schedule a surgery for your pet, consult our vet.
Spaying and Neutering
An ovariohysterectomy (females) or orchidectomy (males) is a procedure of removing the reproductive organs from your pet’s body. It is undertaken to control the pet population and help your pet avoid unwanted sexual behaviours such as marking territory, roaming and aggression. At Belle River Animal Clinic, we offer timely spaying and neutering as it helps in eliminating and decreasing the risk of hormone-related diseases such as cancer.

Steps You Can Take
You can take the following steps to ensure the proper dental health of your pets:
Identification
Keeping a close eye on your pet’s teeth and gums is an important step for early detection of dental disease. Tartar often appears as a brown or gold coloured buildup on the teeth and is close to the gumline. This means your pet requires proper dental hygiene. As cats and dogs find it difficult to communicate toothache until it's too late, staying vigilant of dental problems is advisable. Other signs such as redness or bleeding along the gumline point towards gingivitis and should be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible. Other warning signs include:
Bad breath
Drooling
Pawing at the moth
Difficulty chewing
Loose or missing teeth
Regular brushing
One way of reducing the chances of unexpected dental problems is by regular brushing. While this can be a tricky process, it is necessary to avoid the formation of tartar and other harmful bacteria. Using treats or play periods can help you reinforce a regular brushing period and get your pets used to the idea of teeth cleaning.
Also, we recommend an annual dental checkup.
