Laparoscopy

We do laparoscopic spays here at DeBary Animal Clinic now!  Here is why:

A study published in the 2005 Journal of the Veterinary Medical Association concluded laparoscopic spays caused less surgical stress and up to 65% less postoperative pain than a traditional “open” surgical spay.
In a traditional spay a 2-8 inch incision is made in the abdomen and takes up to two weeks to heal.
By performing the surgery laparoscopically (a minimally invasive technique for viewing the internal structures of the abdomen), the procedure is performed through one small 1/2 inch incision in the abdomen. The magnified view of the ovarian ligament allows the doctor to carefully cut and cauterize it. The small incision is sutured and your pet can go home the same day. With a laparoscopic spay, your dog will experience less trauma, heal faster, experience up to 65% less post-operative pain and can go back to regular activity the next day. Plus, they only have to wear the cone for 1 day!
In cases of larger breed, deep chested dogs, gastropexy can be performed at the time of the lap spay to prevent life-threatening gastric torsion (bloat).

We offer laparoscopic spays on canines 40 pounds & over.
Animals under this weight would not be eligible for laparoscopic spays.
