Surgical Services at Not Just 4 Paws Animal Hospital
Spay and Neuter - Soft Tissue - Orthopedic Surgery
At Not Just 4 Paws Animal Hospital, we provide comprehensive surgical care using advanced techniques and equipment to ensure your pet's safety and well-being. Whether your pet needs a routine procedure or a complex surgery, our skilled veterinarians are dedicated to delivering expert, compassionate care. Patient safety is our top priority, and we use pulse oximetry monitoring to track oxygen levels and heart rate in real-time, ensuring your pet remains stable under anesthesia.
Spay and Neuter
Spaying and neutering are routine surgical procedures that prevent pets from reproducing. Spaying (for females) involves removing the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus, while neutering (for males) involves removing the testicles. These procedures are performed under general anesthesia to ensure your pet’s comfort, and our team carefully monitors each patient for safety.
Why Spay or Neuter Your Pet?
Beyond preventing unwanted litters, spaying and neutering offer significant health and behavioral benefits, including:
- Reduced risk of certain cancers and reproductive diseases
- Decreased aggression, territorial marking, and excessive licking
- Lower long-term costs compared to caring for an unexpected litter
Safe and Professional Care
Spay and neuter procedures are safe, routine, and well-tolerated, but like any surgery, there are potential risks. Our veterinary team takes every precaution to minimize complications and provide detailed pre- and post-operative care to ensure a smooth recovery.

Orthopedic Surgery
Orthopedic issues can significantly impact your pet’s mobility, comfort, and overall quality of life. At Not Just 4 Paws Animal Hospital, our experienced veterinary team provides advanced orthopedic surgical solutions to help pets recover from bone, joint, and ligament injuries, ensuring they regain strength and function.
Common Orthopedic Conditions We Treat:
- Fractures & Broken Bones – Surgical stabilization to promote proper healing.
- Torn Ligaments (CCL Tears) – Repair procedures for knee injuries, similar to ACL injuries in humans.
- Hip Dysplasia & Joint Disorders – Surgical interventions to relieve pain and restore mobility.

Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) Surgery
For pets suffering from hip joint disorders, fractures, or arthritis, an FHO surgery may be recommended. This procedure involves removing the femoral head (the ball of the hip joint), allowing the body to create a false joint that reduces pain and restores mobility. FHO is commonly performed in small to medium-sized pets and is an effective treatment for hip dysplasia, severe arthritis, and traumatic hip injuries.
