Pet Surgery

Why Might a Pet Need Surgery?

There are a number of reasons why a pet might need surgery. Sometimes, pets suffer a serious injury that requires surgical correction. This might include a ligament or tendon tear. This could even include a broken bone that might be displaced. In some cases, pets have a serious illness that requires surgery. Sometimes, this takes the form of a tumor that might be growing inside of a pet's body or s blockage in the intestines. A trained vet surgeon can remove this tumor or cause of the blockage and help the pet recover. These are only a few of the many reasons why a pet might need surgery.

What Happens During Pet Surgery?

A veterinarian will begin by explaining the procedure, covering why it is necessary and what to expect. Our vet will take the time to answer any questions pet owners have about the procedure. Once a pet is taken into an operating room, his vitals will be closely monitored as he is put under anesthesia and the operation is performed. Once the procedure is done, the pet will be taken to the recovery area and will wake up in a safe and calming environment.
