Advanced Surgical Care You Can Trust
Soft tissue surgeries involve the organs, skin, and internal systems rather than bones or joints. These procedures can be both corrective and preventive, addressing everything from injuries to internal diseases. Our veterinarians approach each case with careful evaluation, precision, and compassion to ensure the best possible outcome.
Common Soft Tissue Procedures We Perform
Mass Removals
Safely removing benign or malignant growths to prevent further complications and promote comfort. Each mass is carefully evaluated to determine if additional testing or treatment is needed.
Foreign Body Removal
Pets are naturally curious — sometimes too curious. We remove swallowed objects that can cause intestinal blockages or life-threatening obstructions.
Splenectomy (Spleen Removal)
Performed when the spleen is damaged or affected by disease, helping stabilize your pet’s condition and prevent internal bleeding.
Gastropexy (Stomach Tacking)
A preventive procedure that anchors the stomach to reduce the risk of gastric dilatation-volvulus (bloat), particularly in large or deep-chested dog breeds.
Biopsies
Obtaining tissue samples to diagnose lumps, infections, or internal diseases and guide appropriate treatment plans.
Cesarean Section (C-Section)
When natural delivery is difficult or unsafe, our veterinarians perform C-sections to safely deliver puppies or kittens. This procedure is carefully monitored to protect both the mother and her litter, ensuring the best possible outcome. Learn more about our Reproductive Services.
Each surgery is performed with the highest standards of care, using modern anesthetic protocols and monitoring equipment to ensure your pet’s safety throughout the process.
What to Expect from Your Pet’s Surgery
We take pride in delivering a calm, supportive experience for both pets and their owners. From pre-surgery preparation to post-operative recovery, every step is designed to provide transparency, comfort, and confidence in your pet’s care.
Before Surgery: Pre-Surgical Evaluation
Before any procedure, our veterinarians perform a full physical exam and pre-anesthetic bloodwork to assess your pet’s health and minimize risk. We’ll review your pet’s medical history, explain the procedure, and discuss what to expect before, during, and after surgery.
Surgery Day: Safety and Monitoring
On the day of surgery, your pet is cared for by our experienced veterinary team from start to finish. We use advanced anesthesia monitoring to track vital signs — such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels — throughout the procedure. Our team’s attention to detail ensures that each step is performed with precision and compassion.
After Surgery: Post-Operative Care
Recovery is an essential part of the healing process. After surgery, we provide detailed post-operative instructions and pain management tailored to your pet’s needs. Our staff will guide you through wound care, activity restrictions, and follow-up visits to ensure your pet heals safely and comfortably.
