We have added laser surgery to our services to be progressive in the care of your pet. We believe laser surgery is better for your pet and stand behind our decision to offer laser surgery.

Laser Surgery – Less Pain for your Pet

 Laser surgery has been widely accepted as a higher standard of care in human medicine for over 30 years.  It presents a host of benefits over traditional surgery, and in many procedures, they can replace the scalpel entirely.

 

What are the benefits of laser surgery? 

Less Pain

The laser seals nerve endings as it "cuts." As a result, your pet will experience less pain and be more comfortable after surgery.

Less Bleeding        

The Laser seals small blood vessels during surgery. Because there is less bleeding, surgery is often completed more quickly thus reducing the amount of time your pet will be under anesthesia. This further reduces potential complications.  

Reduced Swelling & Infection

Physical contact between the laser and the surgical region is never established, thus eliminating the crushing, tearing and bruising of tissue associated with traditional surgical methods. Additionally, the CO2 laser energy acts as an antimicrobial/antibacterial agent by producing high temperatures, effectively eliminating microorganisms.

 

Quick Return to Normal Activities

Healing is rapid and there is less post-operative discomfort and a better course of healing.

 

 

We're going GREEN-ER!

Dr. Covington has always been eco friendly and water conscious, and with the water crisis we have upped our game. MMAH already recycles paper, plastic, and aluminum (we use the money from them for the rescue). We conserve water, hang out laundry, turn lights off, and save rainwater/ other water for plant water. We are now going paperless. We are asking for email address for reminders and updates to reduce paper needed for reminders. We reuse paper and are computerized. 

  Please help our efforts and implement your own.
