Laser Surgery:
With use of a surgical laser our declaw service has become very popular due to the significant decrease in pain post-operatively as opposed to traditional surgery using a scapel blade.
Other advantages of using a surgical laser are:

    • Less bleeding
    • Less chance of infection
    • Shorter hospital stays
    • Shorter recovery time

Our hospital stay for declaw are one night.  All patients receive pain medication while in the hospital and to go home with following surgery.
We feel our patients are much more comfortable post-operatively following laser surgery as opposed to traditional surgery using a scapel.
