Surgeries - Vetcetera Animal Hospital

Our clinic offers a wide range of surgical services, from routine to complex procedures. To ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients, we sometimes refer them to specialists—board-certified veterinary surgeons—when advanced training or equipment is necessary.

We prioritize your pet’s safety during surgical procedures. Each patient undergoes a thorough physical examination and pre-anesthetic testing to determine the safest anesthetic plan tailored specifically for them. We closely monitor your pet throughout the surgery and provide pain management during recovery.

Safe and Monitored Procedures

Spaying for Female Pets

Spaying your female pet not only prevents unwanted pregnancies but also contributes to a longer, healthier life. This procedure protects against serious health issues, including bacterial infections, reproductive tract diseases, and certain cancers. Additionally, you won’t need to worry about her going into heat, and spaying does not alter her personality.

On the day of surgery, your pet will arrive in the morning, with the procedure scheduled for later that morning. She will remain with us throughout the day for monitoring and recovery. Afterward, we will schedule a pickup time to discuss home care instructions and address any questions.
Neutering for Male Pets

Neutering your male pet helps prevent unwanted litters and promotes a longer, healthier life. This procedure significantly reduces the risk of prostate and testicular cancer, as well as sexually transmitted diseases. It can also minimize undesirable behaviors, such as roaming, aggression, and marking territory. While neutering may help curb territorial tendencies, it won’t change your pet’s personality.

On the day of surgery, your pet will arrive in the morning, with the procedure set for later that morning. He will stay with us for monitoring and recovery throughout the day. A pickup time will be arranged to review home care instructions and answer any questions.
Soft Tissue Surgery

Soft tissue surgeries involve procedures unrelated to bone, with one of the most common being the removal of masses or lumps. While most lumps we remove are benign, some can be more serious. Early detection and removal of cancerous growths significantly improve outcomes, which is why regular veterinary visits are essential.

For pets suffering from recurrent ear infections, surgical intervention may improve airflow to the ear canal, reducing the frequency of infections. Additionally, we can address various eye issues, such as chronic infections or entropion, where the eyelashes irritate the cornea. Surgical treatment enhances comfort, lowers the risk of corneal scarring, and improves vision in the long term.
