When Might Your Pet Need Surgery?

Your veterinarian may recommend surgery to treat an injury, remove abnormal tissue, or correct a medical condition that cannot be managed with medication alone.

Common reasons pets require surgery include:

• Spaying and neutering
• Removal of skin lumps or masses
• Foreign body removal (when a pet swallows an object)
• Bladder stone removal
• Wound and bite injury repair
• Hernia repair
• Eye surgery
• Exploratory abdominal surgery
• Orthopedic injuries

Every pet receives an individualized treatment plan based on their condition, age, overall health, and diagnostic findings.

Our Surgical Services

At Petsville Animal Hospital, we perform a variety of surgical procedures using modern surgical techniques and carefully monitored anaesthesia.

Routine Surgery
Routine procedures include:

• Spays
• Neuters
• Minor soft tissue procedures

These surgeries help improve your pet's long-term health while preventing unwanted litters and reducing the risk of certain medical conditions.

Soft Tissue Surgery
Our veterinarians commonly perform soft tissue procedures such as:

• Lump and mass removals
• Wound repair
• Bladder surgery (cystotomy)
• Exploratory surger
• Hernia repair
• Eye procedures
• Abscess treatment

Many of these procedures are performed after diagnostic testing helps identify the underlying problem.

Orthopedic Surgery
Certain orthopedic conditions require specialized surgical treatment to restore mobility and reduce pain.

Depending on your pet's condition, we may perform orthopedic procedures in-house or recommend referral to a board-certified veterinary surgeon when advanced specialty care is in your pet's best interest.

What to Expect on Surgery Day

Knowing what to expect can help make surgery day less stressful for both you and your pet.

Before Surgery
Your pet will receive a physical examination, and we'll review the planned procedure and answer any remaining questions.

During Surgery
Your pet will be placed under carefully monitored anaesthesia while our veterinary team performs the procedure.

Recovery
Following surgery, your pet will be closely monitored as they recover from anaesthesia. Once they are awake and comfortable, we'll review home care instructions and discuss the recovery process with you before discharge.
