What Is Soft Tissue Surgery?

Soft tissue surgery refers to procedures that do not involve bones or joints. These surgeries address conditions affecting areas such as the skin, gastrointestinal tract, urinary system, reproductive organs, and more.

Common Procedures We Perform

Our soft tissue surgical services include:

  • Mass and tumor removal
  • Spay and neuter procedures
  • Bladder stone removal (cystotomy)
  • Gastrointestinal surgery (foreign body removal, exploratory surgery, gastropexy)
  • Wound repair and reconstructive surgery
  • Ear, eye, and eyelid procedures
  • Splenic and liver surgery

Each procedure is tailored to your pet’s individual condition and health needs.

Our Approach to Surgical Care

We prioritize safety, precision, and compassionate care at every step:

  • Thorough pre-surgical evaluation including exams and diagnostics
  • Advanced anesthesia and monitoring to ensure your pet’s safety
  • Sterile surgical techniques to reduce risk of infection
  • Pain management protocols for comfort before, during, and after surgery

What to Expect

On the day of surgery, our team will guide you through the process and keep you informed. After the procedure, we provide detailed discharge instructions and are always available to answer questions during recovery.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery times vary depending on the procedure, but most pets benefit from:

  • Restricted activity while healing
  • Medications for pain control and healing support
  • Follow-up visits to monitor progress

We may also recommend additional care such as bandage management or dietary adjustments, depending on the surgery performed.

Compassionate Surgical Care You Can Trust

Our goal is to deliver high-quality surgical care while minimizing stress for both you and your pet. From routine procedures to more complex surgeries, we’re here to support your pet’s health every step of the way.
