Pet Surgery

When Is Surgery Necessary?

Deciding when your pet needs surgery depends on their condition and overall health. Some procedures, such as spaying and neutering, are preventative and recommended for all pets to avoid future health complications. In other cases, surgery may be necessary to address injuries, remove tumors, or correct issues that are causing your pet pain or discomfort.

If your pet is experiencing symptoms such as difficulty moving, pain, or abnormal growth, it is important to consult with our veterinarian. We will assess your pet’s condition and determine whether surgery is the best option for their health and quality of life.

The Benefits of Pet Surgery

Surgery can significantly improve your pet’s health and longevity. Routine procedures like spaying and neutering help prevent unwanted behaviors and certain health conditions, such as infections and cancers. In more serious cases, surgery can relieve pain, remove harmful tumors, or repair injuries that would otherwise limit your pet’s ability to live comfortably.

At Animal Hospital of Eagle Glen, we prioritize a careful approach to surgery, ensuring your pet receives the necessary care with as little risk and discomfort as possible. Following the procedure, we will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you support your pet’s recovery at home.

We encourage follow-up visits to track your pet’s progress and make sure they are healing as expected. Any concerns or questions about your pet’s recovery can be addressed by our team.
