Soft Tissue Surgery
Advanced Surgical Care for Dogs and Cats
Our clinic provides a wide range of soft tissue surgery for pets, which includes procedures that do not involve bones or joints. These surgeries are often essential for improving your pet’s comfort, overall health, and quality of life—and in some cases, they can be lifesaving. Our team is experienced in performing safe, effective veterinary surgical procedures tailored to your pet’s individual needs.
Mass Removal & Early Detection
One of the most common procedures we perform is mass removal in dogs and cats. Pets can develop lumps or growths anywhere on the body. While many are benign, some may be malignant (cancerous). Early removal and evaluation allow for more effective treatment, especially if cancer is present.
We may recommend removal if the mass is causing discomfort or concern. To guide this decision, we often perform a fine needle aspirate (FNA), a minimally invasive test that collects cells from the mass for microscopic evaluation. This helps determine the nature of the growth before surgery whenever possible.
Eye Surgeries & Vision Care
Our veterinarians also perform a variety of pet eye surgeries to address conditions that may cause irritation, discomfort, or vision problems. These procedures include:
- Cherry eye repair
- Eyelid mass removal
- Treatment for corneal injuries
- Correction of abnormal eyelashes
These surgeries help relieve pain, prevent long-term complications, and protect your pet’s vision.
Additional Soft Tissue Procedures
We routinely perform many other soft tissue surgical procedures in pets, including:
- Cystotomy (removal of bladder stones)
- Treatment of urinary blockages in cats
- Ear hematoma repair and chronic ear procedures
- Abscess treatment and wound repair
- Foxtail removal and management of draining tracts
- Laceration and bite wound repair
- Intra-abdominal surgeries, including biopsies and mass removal
Each procedure is performed with careful planning and attention to your pet’s safety and recovery.
Access to Specialized Surgical Care
For more complex or advanced cases, we collaborate with a board-certified veterinary soft tissue surgeon who can perform specialized procedures at our clinic. This allows your pet to receive expert-level care without the need to travel to a referral hospital, often at a more affordable cost.
