In-House Surgical Suite:  We offer many surgical services at RBAH.  Our state-of-the-art surgical suite is designed and equipped to facilitate a wide variety of surgical procedures ranging from preventative surgeries (spay, neuter, declaw) and soft tissue surgeries (tumor removals, biopsies) to ophthalmic (cherry eye and entropion repairs, corneal conjunctival grafts) and orthopedic surgeries (fractures, cruciate ligament repairs, and corrective surgeries for hip dysplasia). 











Anesthesia Machines:  We have two anesthesia machines available, both equipped with Isoflurane- which provides for a safe and quick recovery. It is used not only on our general surgery patients, but also on pediatrics, geriatrics, critical care patients, cardiac patients, and exotics.

Dental Station:  In order to provide your pet with proper oral care, we have a dental station.  It is equipped with an ultrasonic scaler, a high-speed hand-drill, a prophy hand-piece and a water/air hand-piece. This equipment is very similar to that used by your own dentist. We are able to perform ultrasonic dental scaling, polishing and many types of restorative work (such as fillings, pulp-caps, root canals, and extractions). We are also equipped with a large variety of handheld instuments & restorative equipment.
