Laser Surgery for Pets in Clovis & Fresno

At Armstrong Pet Hospital in Clovis, near Fresno, we are proud to offer advanced laser surgery for dogs and cats. Laser surgery uses highly focused light energy (CO₂ laser) instead of a traditional scalpel, providing greater precision and comfort for your pet. This modern approach is widely recognized in both human and veterinary medicine for its safety and effectiveness.

What Is Laser Surgery?

Laser surgery uses a concentrated light beam to cut or vaporize tissue while simultaneously sealing blood vessels, nerve endings, and lymphatics. This unique technology:

  • Allows for highly precise surgical cuts

  • Reduces bleeding during surgery

  • Minimizes pain and swelling for your pet

  • Provides a cleaner, more sterile surgical field

Laser surgery can be used for nearly any soft tissue procedure, including:

  • Spay and neuter

  • Eyelid surgery (entropion, ectropion, distichiasis)

  • Soft palate and airway corrections (elongated soft palate, stenotic nares)

  • Tumor, wart, and mass removals

  • Cat declaw procedures

Benefits of Laser Surgery for Pets

  • Less Pain – Seals nerve endings during cutting, reducing discomfort during and after surgery.

  • Reduced Bleeding – Cauterizes small vessels for a clearer surgical field and faster procedures.

  • Less Swelling – No scalpel tearing or tissue bruising; lymphatics are sealed by the laser.

  • Lower Risk of Infection – Laser energy sterilizes as it cuts, killing bacteria in its path.

  • Faster Recovery – Pets experience a smoother, quicker return to normal activity.

Benefits for Surgeons = Better for Pets

Laser surgery improves surgical precision and safety, which benefits your pet:

  • Clearer field of vision for the surgeon

  • Fine-beam control for delicate areas (such as eyelids or airways)

  • Ability to perform procedures that are difficult with a scalpel
