What We Do in Our Surgical Suite

Why Every Surgery Starts With a Consultation

An accurate number and a safe anesthetic plan both require seeing your pet. At the consultation your veterinarian performs a complete physical exam, reviews your pet’s history and your concerns, discusses the procedure in detail and answers every question, determines whether pre-anesthetic bloodwork is indicated, and puts an estimate in front of you. That consult-first approach is clinical policy, not a scheduling hurdle. Booking the consultation is one step, and it is online.

You Approve the Estimate Before We Do the Work

A base price is a starting point, not a total. The accurate range for your pet comes from the consultation, with your pet in the room. And an estimate can still change if we find more during the procedure than the exam could show.

Our estimate promise, step by step:

  1. Your consultation produces an estimate for your pet’s surgery.
  2. You approve it before the surgery is scheduled.
  3. If we find anything beyond the approved estimate during the procedure, we stop and call you before doing it.
  4. You decide. We proceed accordingly.

What Surgery at Mtn Green Costs

Here is how pricing works, plainly. Surgery starts from a base fee. The accurate range for your pet comes from the consultation, because the total depends on what the exam and diagnostics find. The consultation that produces your estimate is our standard exam visit, priced upfront:

Full Doctor Physical Exam & Consultation | $70

A comprehensive nose-to-tail examination with one of our veterinarians. We’ll review your pet’s history and concerns, perform a complete physical exam, discuss our findings, and create a personalized plan for any recommended care. Additional diagnostics, medications, vaccines, or treatments are discussed and priced separately.

Price current as of September 2026.

An honest number requires looking at your pet first. What we can promise: an accurate estimate in front of you at the consultation, straight answers to every pricing question, and a phone call before any work beyond what you approved.

Surgery Questions, Answered Plainly

Why Surgery Happens Under Anesthesia, and What Makes It Safe

Anesthesia is what makes surgery humane and precise. It means a protected airway, no pain and no fear while the work is done, and a patient who is completely still so the surgeon can work accurately. Safety comes from the preparation around it: an exam first, bloodwork when indicated, drug choices and doses matched to your pet, and continuous monitoring of heart rate, oxygen levels and other vital signs from induction through recovery.

We Call You First: What That Promise Means During a Procedure

Surgery sometimes reveals what an exam and imaging could not. When that happens, we do not simply proceed and bill you afterwards. We stop, we call you, and we explain what we found and what it would take to address it. You decide. That is why the estimate you approve is a real number and not a rough guess.

What Happens If a Lump Turns Out to Be Benign

Plenty of masses are benign, and finding that out is a good outcome, not a wasted visit. Whether a benign mass should still come off depends on where it is, whether it bothers your pet, and whether it is growing. Your veterinarian will walk you through the options, including leaving it alone and watching it. Testing tissue after removal is what turns an opinion into an answer.

Recovery at Home: What Normal Looks Like, and When to Call

Expect grogginess the first evening, a smaller appetite than usual, and a pet who wants to rest. Your job is to keep the incision clean and dry, prevent licking, give medications as prescribed, and restrict activity for as long as we tell you. Call us if you see swelling or discharge at the incision, if it opens, if your pet will not eat or drink, if vomiting continues, or if pain seems poorly controlled. Asking early is always right.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is surgery safe for my pet?

Our veterinary team uses strict safety protocols for every procedure at Mtn Green Animal Hospital. We tailor anesthesia and monitoring to each pet’s needs and keep you informed at every stage for added peace of mind.

How much does pet surgery cost, and how long does it take?

We cannot quote a price for your pet’s surgery without seeing your pet. What the surgery costs depends on what the exam and diagnostics find. The consultation is where the estimate comes from: a complete physical exam, a plan for your pet, and a written estimate you approve before anything is scheduled. Our full doctor physical exam and consultation is posted on our pricing page.

How should I prepare my pet for surgery, and what is recovery like?

We provide clear pre-surgical instructions, such as fasting or medication adjustments. After surgery, you’ll receive detailed home care guidance. Our team stays in touch and prioritizes your pet’s comfort at every step.

What conditions do you treat with pet surgery?

We provide surgery for injuries, tumors, dental disease, internal illnesses, reproductive health, and emergencies. Our team manages a wider array of cases than many clinics, so contact us if you have questions about your pet’s condition.
