Everything Your Pet Needs — All Under One Roof
Having a dedicated, on-site surgery suite is a significant advantage for pet owners in Reno, NV . Rather than being referred to an outside specialist for routine and general surgical procedures, you and your pet can receive comprehensive care without leaving our facility. This eliminates the added stress of transporting an anxious or recovering animal to an unfamiliar location, and it keeps your pet’s medical team consistent from pre-operative evaluation through post-operative follow-up.
Our surgery suite is equipped with modern surgical tables, lighting, and instrument sets, as well as advanced anesthetic delivery and monitoring equipment. This allows our veterinary team to safely perform a broad range of general surgical procedures including soft tissue operations, mass removals, foreign body extractions, spay and neuter procedures, bladder surgeries, and more. Pre-surgical diagnostic imaging is also available in-house, giving our surgeons the information they need before making the first incision.
Patient Safety Is Our Top Priority in the OR
We take the safety of every patient in our surgery suite extremely seriously. Every pet undergoing surgery at Fantasia Pet Resort and Veterinary Hospital receives a thorough pre-operative assessment, including a physical examination and often pre-anesthetic bloodwork to evaluate organ function and identify any risk factors. Our veterinarians tailor the anesthesia protocol to each patient’s individual profile — taking into account age, breed, weight, and any underlying health conditions.
Throughout every procedure, a trained veterinary team member is dedicated solely to anesthetic monitoring. We track vital parameters including heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, body temperature, and depth of anesthesia continuously using modern monitoring equipment. Pain management is integrated at every stage — before, during, and after surgery — to ensure your pet’s recovery is as smooth and comfortable as possible. Upon discharge, you’ll receive detailed post-operative instructions, and our team is always available by phone at (775) 322-1199 if questions arise during your pet’s recovery at home.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our In-House Surgery Suite
What types of surgeries are performed in your in-house surgery suite?
Our surgery suite is equipped to handle a wide range of general and soft tissue procedures including spay and neuter surgeries, mass and tumor removals, foreign body removal from the gastrointestinal tract, bladder surgeries, wound repair, and more. Our veterinarians will discuss the specific procedure recommended for your pet during a pre-surgical consultation.
Why is it better to have surgery done in-house rather than at a referral center?
For general surgical procedures, having the surgery performed on-site at Fantasia Pet Resort and Veterinary Hospital means your pet stays in a familiar environment with the same team managing their care from start to finish. It also reduces travel stress for your pet, keeps costs more manageable, and allows for seamless coordination between pre-operative diagnostics, the procedure itself, and post-operative monitoring — all without transferring records between facilities.
How is my pet monitored during surgery?
During every surgical procedure, a dedicated veterinary team member continuously monitors your pet’s vital signs using advanced anesthetic monitoring equipment. We track heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, body temperature, and anesthetic depth throughout the entire procedure to ensure your pet remains safe and stable from the first moment of anesthesia to full recovery.
Do you perform pre-surgical testing before operations?
Yes. Pre-operative bloodwork and, in some cases, diagnostic imaging such as full body X-rays are commonly recommended before surgery. These tests help our veterinarians assess your pet’s organ function, identify any hidden conditions that could affect anesthesia safety, and plan the most appropriate surgical approach. We’ll let you know exactly which pre-surgical tests are recommended for your pet’s specific procedure.
How should I prepare my pet the night before surgery?
In most cases, pets should be fasted — no food after midnight the night before surgery — to reduce the risk of complications under anesthesia. Water restrictions vary by procedure. Our team will provide you with specific pre-operative fasting instructions when your pet’s procedure is scheduled. Please follow them carefully and call (775) 322-1199 with any questions.
How long will my pet stay at the clinic after surgery?
Recovery time in our facility depends on the procedure performed. Many pets go home the same day once they are fully awake, alert, and their pain is well-controlled. More involved surgeries may require a longer recovery period on-site before discharge. Our team will give you a realistic timeline and ensure your pet is stable and comfortable before they go home.
