Common Pet Surgeries from an Animal Hospital in Troutdale and Gresham

Being told by your veterinarian that your pet requires surgery is not the most pleasant news to hear. You’re going to be scared and concerned for your pet, but you shouldn’t stress too much. In every instance a pet surgeon recommends a procedure for a cat or dog, they’re doing it to better the animal’s health or even save their life.

Why Your Pet Might Need Surgery

There are many reasons your pet may need surgery. Perhaps they’ve been injured, whether in an auto accident or fight with another animal. They may have torn a muscle or broken a bone and require surgical care.

Your pet may have eaten something inedible and surgery is the only way to get it out. They may have cancer or other medical conditions. If you don’t care for your pet’s teeth, they may need cavity treatment or even tooth extractions.  

Common Surgical Procedures

Here are the surgeries your pet may have:

• Internal surgery for bladder stones, tumors, and extracting inedible objects. These surgeries are often emergency procedures.
• Injury surgery for knee pain and ACL injuries, broken or fractured bones, open wounds, and deep bite wounds.
• Cancer surgery for skin cancer, eyelid cancer, nasal cavity cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer, and more.
• Dental surgery for oral infections, tooth decay, and other signs of poor oral hygiene.
• Spaying and neutering surgery to cease reproduction and curb sexual behavior in pets.
