Common Pet Surgeries for Cats and Dogs
Some of the most common pet surgeries for both cats and dogs include:
• Neutering and Spaying: The removal of testicles in males and ovaries in females can help with reducing the risk of various diseases or pregnancy.
• Dental Surgeries: Tooth extractions, cleanings, and even various treatments for dental diseases may be conducted.
• Urinary Tract Surgery: If your cat or dog is experiencing a urinary blockage, infection, or even a potential bladder stone, a urinary tract procedure may be necessary.
• Tumor Removal: Tumor removal is a vital surgical procedure for pets that helps eliminate both benign and malignant growths.
• ENT Procedures: In some instances, a cat or dog may require an ENT (Ear, Nose, or Throat) procedure to improve airflow, breathing, or address hearing issues caused by disabilities or injuries.
Important Preparation Tips for Pet Surgery
There are some important steps to take before pet surgery. First, schedule a consultation with our veterinarian, Dr. Schooley. During this visit, she will discuss anesthesia protocols, recovery instructions, and any necessary medications.
In addition to the consultation, it’s important to prepare your home for postoperative care. This includes setting up a quiet, comfortable space for your pet and monitoring him or her closely. We will also schedule follow-up appointments to ensure your furry companion is healing properly.
