Reasons for Veterinary Surgery
Veterinary surgery is often used in conjunction with internal medicine, medical oncology, radiation oncology, physical rehabilitation, and neurology. While not all health issues require surgery, it can be the best option for certain conditions. Common reasons your pet might need surgery include:
Blockages: Foreign objects ingested by your pet can lead to blockages that require surgical removal.
Cancer: Surgery may be necessary to remove tumors or masses, often as part of a broader treatment plan.
Injuries: Severe injuries, such as broken bones or major wounds, may need surgical intervention for proper repair.
Orthopedic Issues: Conditions like fractures or severe arthritis can benefit from specialized orthopedic procedures.
At Animal Specialty Center, we offer a comprehensive range of surgical services to address these and other needs.
