All of our veterinarians perform general surgery at our facility.
     We offer surgery every morning, Monday-Friday. We commonly
     perform ovariohysterectomies (spays), neuters, growth removals,
     cystotomies, declaws and other soft tissue surgeries.

     We have a referral veterinarian, Dr. Steve Timm, utilizing our
     facility for orthopedic and other specialty surgeries as needed.
     Dr. Steven Timm graduated in 1986 from the University of      Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine.  He has extensive
     experience in small animal emergency and critical care, and
     currently works as a surgical consultant for companion animals,
     providing Shorewood Animal Hospital with the expertise and
     experience necessary for difficult orthopedic and soft tissue
     repairs.  Living in scenic Vernon county surrounded by wildlife,
     he pursues his hobbies of woodworking, canoeing, fishing and
     hiking.

     We recommend labwork prior to many procedures to help
     provide the highest level of safety during and after the
     anesthesia. The labwork recommended varies due to the age and
     medical history of the pet.

     In addition, our patients are monitored by veterinary technicians
     and modern equipment including ECG, pulse oximeter, esophageal
     temperature, CO2, blood pressure and respiration monitors.
     Patients are also safeguarded with an IV catheter and fluid
     support.
