Why Your Pet Might Need Surgery
Surgery can be an important part of helping your pet recover from illness, injury, or disease. Some of the most common reasons pets may need surgery include:
Blockages: Pets sometimes swallow things they shouldn’t. Surgery may be needed to remove a foreign object that’s causing an obstruction.
Injuries: Broken bones, torn ligaments, or serious wounds may require surgical repair.
Cancer or Mass Removal: Surgery can be used to remove tumors or growths to improve comfort and health.
Infections or Abscesses: Deep infections or abscesses that don’t respond to medication may need surgical treatment.
Our hospital features two fully equipped surgical suites, advanced monitoring equipment, and a highly trained nursing team to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort before, during, and after surgery.
