Reasons for Veterinary Surgery
Evaluating and treating complex conditions requires specialized medical equipment and expertise that is typically only found in a specialty hospital like ours.
At Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Hospital, our Surgery Department is equipped with advanced instrumentation and fully equipped surgical suites to handle complex surgical cases.
Surgery might be necessary for your pet if they have issues such as:
Intestinal obstruction:
If your pet swallows something they shouldn't and develops an obstruction, they may require surgery to remove it.
Cancer:
Surgery is the primary treatment for numerous cancerous and non-cancerous tumors. Surgical removal of tumors often provides the best chance of a cure.
Traumatic injuries:
If your
pet breaks a bone or has a serious wound, they may require surgery for reconstruction or repair.
