Why Does My Pet Need Surgery?

Our veterinarians recommend surgery for a variety of reasons, all focused on improving your pet's health and quality of life. Some common reasons your pet may need surgery include:

•             Orthopedic Concerns: Broken bones, torn ligaments, and joint issues can be addressed through surgery to restore mobility and alleviate pain.

•             Gastrointestinal Problems: Blockages, ulcers, and tumors can often be resolved surgically to improve proper digestion and overall well-being.

•             Reproductive Issues: Spaying and neutering are routine surgeries that prevent unwanted pregnancies, certain cancers, and behavioral problems.

•             Cancerous Growths: Early detection and surgical removal of tumors can significantly improve your pet's prognosis and extend its lifespan.

Preparing for Surgery

Once you've made the decision with our veterinarians to have surgery, we can help you prepare for the procedure. Some important steps include the following:

•             Pre-Operative Examination: Your pet will have a thorough physical exam and bloodwork to assess its overall health and suitability for surgery.

•             Dietary Restrictions: Depending on the procedure, our veterinarians may advise withholding food and water for a specific period beforehand.

•             Medication Adjustments: Any existing medications your pet takes may need to be adjusted or temporarily stopped before surgery.

•             Comfortable Bedding: Prepare a quiet and warm space for your pet's recovery at home, which includes soft bedding and easy access to food and water.
