Surgical FAQs
Soft-tissue surgery for pets refers to any procedure that doesn't involve bones or joints (orthopedic surgery). This type of surgery includes operations on organs, skin, and muscles, such as removing a growth, taking a stuck object out of a pet’s stomach, or treating gastrointestinal problems.
Some surgeries are preventive, like spays and neuters. Other procedures are used to treat conditions such as tumors, internal injuries, or organ issues. If your veterinarian recommends surgery, it is because they believe it's the best option for your pet's long-term health.
