Safe, Compassionate Surgical Care for Cats and Dogs
Pets are family, and when surgery becomes part of their care, you want assurance they’ll be treated with the same compassion and attention you’d expect for yourself. That’s exactly what you’ll find at Wade Hampton & Pet Care Mobile. With decades of surgical experience, diagnostic insight, and a deep commitment to comfort and recovery, our veterinary team is here to help your pets live healthier, pain-free lives.
Why Pet Surgery Matters
Surgical intervention often plays an important role in protecting your pet’s health and preserving their comfort. From preventing reproductive-related illnesses through spaying and neutering to removing potentially dangerous growths or treating injury, surgery can significantly improve—and sometimes even save—your pet’s life.
Unfortunately, pets can’t tell us when something hurts or feels wrong. That’s why we believe in a proactive approach: using diagnostic tools such as radiographs and lab work to catch problems early and acting with care and urgency when surgery is needed. With each procedure, our goal is to give your pet the best chance at a longer, happier life by your side.
Types of Pet Surgeries We Offer
Surgery can be a key part of your pet’s health plan—whether it’s preventive, diagnostic, or to treat a medical concern. Our veterinary team offers a full range of surgical procedures for cats and dogs, using advanced diagnostics, gentle techniques, and individualized care throughout the process.
1. Spay & Neuter Services
Spaying and neutering offer long-term health benefits, including reduced risk of reproductive cancers and fewer hormone-related behaviors like roaming or aggression. These routine surgeries also support responsible pet ownership and population control. We use safe anesthesia, monitor closely, and provide thorough post-op care instructions.
2. Mass Removals
Growths and lumps can be harmless—or they may require immediate attention. We assess each case using diagnostics like cytology or imaging, and if surgery is needed, we remove masses carefully while minimizing stress and discomfort. Mass removal can improve mobility, eliminate pain, and prevent more serious health problems.
3. Surgical Radiography
Radiographs (X-rays) help us make more informed surgical decisions. From locating foreign objects to identifying internal injuries or orthopedic issues, these images allow us to plan procedures that are safer and more precise. With in-house radiography, we can diagnose and treat more efficiently.
4. Pre- and Post-Operative Care
Each surgical case begins with a complete health assessment to minimize risk. We perform exams and blood tests to check for underlying conditions and ensure your pet is ready for anesthesia. After surgery, we provide customized home care plans, medications, and follow-up visits to support healing.
5. Pain Management & Laser Therapy
We take pain control seriously. Every surgical plan includes appropriate pain relief before, during, and after the procedure. We also offer laser therapy to reduce swelling, ease discomfort, and speed recovery—especially helpful after soft tissue surgeries or for older pets.
What to Expect During Surgery
Transparency and preparation help make the process less stressful for both you and your pet. Here’s how we guide you through it:
1. Pre-Surgical Assessment
Before any procedure, your pet receives a thorough health check. We run blood tests and evaluate organ function to determine anesthesia safety. This step ensures your pet is physically ready for surgery.
2. Anesthesia & Monitoring
On surgery day, pets are monitored closely throughout their procedure. Our trained veterinary technicians use advanced monitoring equipment to track heart rate, breathing, temperature, and more—every moment your pet is under our care.
3. Surgery Performed with Skill and Compassion
Dr. Marilyn Michie-Grist brings over 40 years of experience to every procedure. Her knowledge, combined with the dedication of our veterinary staff, ensures your pet receives surgical care rooted in both science and empathy.
4. Post-Operative Recovery and Home Instructions
After surgery, your pet recovers under supervision until they are ready to go home. We’ll provide clear aftercare instructions, pain medications when necessary, and set up any necessary follow-up appointments to make sure healing goes smoothly.
