Why Pet Surgery Matters
Pet surgery plays a crucial role in maintaining and restoring health, addressing a range of conditions that may impact your pet’s well-being. From routine procedures like spaying and neutering, which prevent future health issues and unwanted litters, to specialized surgeries like mass removals and foreign body extractions, surgical intervention can be essential for both prevention and treatment.
Surgery often helps manage conditions that can’t be treated through medication alone, providing relief from pain, correcting physical issues, and even saving lives in emergencies. At Galt Animal Hospital, our approach to pet surgery prioritizes your pet’s comfort and safety, ensuring each procedure is performed with precision, compassion, and a focus on smooth recovery. Our surgical team is dedicated to delivering compassionate and skilled care, ensuring that every procedure is as safe and comfortable as possible for your pet.
Comprehensive Pet Surgery Services
Our team at Galt Animal Hospital offers a variety of surgical services tailored to meet the diverse needs of pets. We focus on precise and effective techniques to reduce recovery time and help your pet get back to their daily activities quickly.
Spay and Neuter
Spaying and neutering are among the most common surgeries we perform. These procedures not only prevent unwanted litters but also offer health benefits for pets, such as reduced risks of certain cancers and behavioral issues. Spaying and neutering contribute to a healthier, calmer lifestyle for pets, improving their long-term quality of life.
Mass Removal
If your pet has a lump or bump, a mass removal surgery may be recommended. Mass removal involves removing abnormal growths, which may be benign or malignant. After removal, we often perform a biopsy to understand the nature of the mass. Early intervention in cases of suspicious masses can be essential to your pet’s health, as it can prevent the growth from spreading or causing other health complications.
Foreign Body Removal
Pets are naturally curious and can sometimes ingest foreign objects, leading to dangerous blockages in their digestive system. Foreign body removal surgery helps remove these objects safely, restoring normal function to the gastrointestinal tract.
Biopsy
A biopsy is a surgical procedure that involves taking a small tissue sample for analysis. This can help diagnose various conditions, including cancers and other diseases that may not be apparent through standard testing. Biopsies are a valuable tool in forming a precise diagnosis, enabling us to tailor treatments to address your pet’s specific needs.
Cystotomy
Cystotomy surgery is used to treat issues in the bladder, such as bladder stones or other blockages. Bladder stones can cause pain, infection, and urinary issues in pets, making cystotomy a necessary procedure to restore comfort and health. Following the surgery, we’ll work with you to develop a prevention plan, ensuring your pet remains healthy and free from recurring urinary problems.
General Soft Tissue Surgery
Soft tissue surgeries address various needs, from wound repairs to removing damaged or infected tissues. These surgeries often help treat or prevent health concerns, enhancing your pet’s well-being and comfort. Our surgical team is trained in many soft tissue procedures, ensuring we can provide care tailored to your pet’s condition.
