Before any procedure, we perform a full pre-operative exam and bloodwork to assess your pet’s overall health and identify any factors that may affect anesthesia or recovery. Each patient receives a customized anesthesia plan, continuous monitoring during surgery, and detailed post-operative care instructions to support safe healing at home.
We understand that some conditions require immediate attention. In many cases, we can accommodate same-day or next-day surgery when needed.
Our soft tissue surgical services include:

- Gastropexy procedures
- Foreign body removal
- Splenic and intestinal mass removal
- Bladder surgery
- Other intra-abdominal procedures
We also offer cryosurgery, a minimally invasive option used to freeze and remove small masses using local analgesia. This can be an effective approach for select cases where traditional surgery may not be necessary.
Soft tissue surgery is often required to treat injuries, remove abnormal growths, or address internal conditions that cannot be managed medically. Accurate diagnosis, careful surgical planning, and structured recovery support all contribute to better outcomes.
