LITTLE EGYPT VETERINARY CLINIC, 

THE FIRST IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS TO OFFER LASER SURGERY!     

This addition is part of our continued investment in advanced technologies and progressive procedures in veterinary medicine.  Lasers have been used in human medicine for over 30 years, but are just beginning to appear in the veterinary field as doctors and animal lovers learn more about the benefits they can provide.  Pets are part of our family, and maintaining a quality of life for that pet is very important to us at LITTLE EGYPT VETERINARY CLINIC.  This is why we took the leap, to be the first clinic in Southern Illinois to offer LASER SURGERY.

LASER SURGERY has several benefits over traditional scalpel surgery, including reduced pain, less bleeding and swelling, and generally faster recovery times.  During surgery, the laser beam sterilizes as it cuts, and seals both blood vessels and nerve endings.  It is this sealing process that minimizes the bleeding and pain for the animal.

While the laser can be used for most surgical procedures, feline declaws, ear crops, skin tumor removals, and treatment of oral conditions are procedures where the laser proves its superiority over other surgical methods.  The versatility of the laser allows the doctor to perform very delicate surgeries, removing a few cells or a single ingrown hair follicle at a time.  Many animal lovers see the laser as the most humane surgical option available.

At LITTLE EGYPT VETERINARY CLINIC, we pride ourselves on staying on the leading edge of technology and medicine, and educating our clients on the various levels of care available.  LASER SURGERY is the future of veterinary medicine, and we feel our clients deserve to have that option when choosing the best care for their pet.
