What is Soft Tissue Surgery?

Soft tissue surgery refers to surgical procedures that involve the skin, muscles, and internal organs of your pet. This type of surgery can be necessary for various reasons, including the removal of tumors, repair of hernias, or treatment of injuries. Our veterinarians are skilled in performing these procedures with precision and care, ensuring your pet receives the best possible treatment.

When is Soft Tissue Surgery Necessary?

Soft tissue surgery may be recommended if your pet has a condition that cannot be effectively treated with medication or other non-invasive methods. Common reasons for soft tissue surgery include the presence of tumors, abscesses, or foreign objects lodged in the body. If your veterinarian suspects that surgery is necessary, they will conduct a thorough examination and discuss the best course of action with you.

What Can I Expect Before and After Surgery?

Before the surgery, our team will perform a comprehensive evaluation of your pet's health, including blood tests and imaging if needed. We will provide you with detailed instructions on how to prepare your pet for the procedure. After surgery, your pet will be monitored closely during recovery, and we will provide you with post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth healing process.
