Advanced Procedures
What Is Pet Specialty Surgery?
Pet specialty surgery refers to advanced surgical procedures beyond routine spays and neuters. These surgeries are typically more complex and are often required to address serious medical conditions, injuries, or emergencies. At VetField, our specialty services include:
- Soft Tissue Surgery: Internal organ procedures, mass removals, wound repairs, and more.
- Oncologic Surgery: Tumor removal and supportive surgical care for pets diagnosed with cancer.
- Emergency and Foreign Body Surgery: Life-saving interventions for pets in critical condition or those who’ve ingested harmful items.
Procedure Overview
What to Expect
Your pet’s surgical journey starts with a full consultation and diagnostic testing (such as bloodwork, X-rays, or ultrasound). If surgery is recommended, we’ll walk you through the procedure, discuss anesthesia protocols, and prepare you for the recovery period. Your pet will be monitored closely during and after the procedure with advanced equipment to ensure stability and comfort.
Our compassionate aftercare includes:
- Post-op pain management
- Detailed at-home care instructions
- Follow-up recheck appointments
- Personalized recovery plans based on your pet’s needs
We combine modern veterinary technology with decades of hands-on experience to deliver high-quality care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are our top priorities before, during, and after surgery.
Why Pet Specialty Surgery Matters
Surgical intervention is sometimes the only way to diagnose, treat, or manage certain conditions — and timely care can make all the difference. Consider the following:
Foreign Object Ingestion
Foreign object ingestion is one of the most common pet emergencies. Surgery can prevent deadly intestinal blockages.
Cancer
Cancer is the leading cause of death in older dogs, and surgery is often the first and most effective step in treatment.
Soft Tissue Surgeries
Soft tissue surgeries, such as bladder stone removal or tumor excision, can relieve chronic pain and improve quality of life.
Delaying surgery can lead to worsening symptoms, irreversible damage, or unnecessary suffering. When caught early and treated surgically, many conditions have excellent outcomes and give your pet the best shot at a full, happy life.
