Surgical Care for Exotic Pets


At Tree of Life Exotic Pet Medical Center, we understand that the thought of your pet undergoing surgery can be stressful. Whether it’s a routine procedure or a complex operation, our priority is to ensure the safest possible experience and a smooth recovery for your unique companion.


From Routine to Advanced Procedures

Our surgical services cover a wide range of needs, including:

  • Routine Surgeries– spays, neuters, mass removals, beak trims, and minor wound repairs.

  • Specialized Exotic Procedures– shell repair in turtles, reproductive surgeries in reptiles and small mammals, orthopedic procedures, and removal of internal masses or obstructions.

  • Emergency Surgeries– for injuries, egg binding, severe infections, or trauma.


State-of-the-Art Surgical Suite

We use advanced surgical equipment designed to meet the needs of exotic species, including:

  • Specialized surgical instruments for small and delicate anatomy

  • Modern anesthesia machines with precise, species-appropriate monitoring

  • Heated surgical tables to maintain body temperature in temperature-sensitive species

  • High-quality lighting and magnification for precision work


Compassionate Care Every Step of the Way

We know how much you love your pet, and we treat them like our own:

  1. Before Surgery– We perform a thorough pre-anesthetic exam and may recommend bloodwork or imaging to ensure your pet is healthy enough for the procedure.

  2. During Surgery– Your pet is closely monitored by trained veterinary staff using advanced monitoring tools to track heart rate, respiration, oxygen levels, and temperature.

  3. After Surgery– Recovery is supervised in a quiet, warm, and stress-minimized environment with pain management tailored to your pet’s species and condition.


Pain Management & Recovery Support

Pain relief is essential to healing. We use the safest and most effective medications for each species, along with supportive care such as oxygen therapy, fluid support, and specialized nutrition when needed.
