Common Reasons Why Pets Need Surgery

We know that it can be stressful for pet owners to hear that their furry friend is going to need surgery. There are a few common reasons why we recommend the surgical route to some pets.

• Sometimes, pets have a broken bone that needs to be set. Pets can sustain broken bones in a number of ways, just like people. For example, pets may fall from a great height. They might also end up getting injured in an accident at the dog park. In order for a bone to heal properly, it needs to be lined up. Surgery might be necessary to make this happen.
• Other pets might have a cyst or abscess that needs to be removed. These are pockets that can develop in soft tissue and fill with infected fluid. In order to prevent this infection from spreading elsewhere, the fluid might need to be drained.
• Finally, some pets might also have a tumor. Some tumors are benign while others might be cancerous. The only way to know is to take the tumor out and test it. That is where our pet surgeons come in and help.

These are only a few of the numerous reasons why a pet might need surgery. Pet owners can rest easy knowing that our vet team is highly trained and will take good care of any pet that needs surgery.
