Frequently Asked Questions About Soft Tissue Surgery

How do you ensure my pet’s safety during surgery?

At our Summerville facility, we use the latest monitoring equipment and tailor anesthesia protocols to each pet. Dr. Mack’s surgical training from UGA, combined with our experienced technical team, ensures your pet receives the safest possible care.

What’s the typical recovery process like?

Recovery varies by procedure, but most pets return home the same day. We provide detailed instructions for at-home care, including activity restrictions that consider Summerville’s climate and environment. Short, controlled walks around your neighborhood or Pine Forest Country Club area are usually recommended as they recover.

How long do soft tissue surgeries typically take?

Surgery times vary based on the procedure. Simple mass removals might take 30 minutes, while more complex abdominal surgeries can take several hours. Dr. Mack will provide specific timing during your consultation.

Will my pet need to stay overnight?

Most pets go home the same day, but we monitor each case individually. Our convenient Old Trolley Road location makes it easy for Summerville residents to pick up their pets when they’re ready.

What kind of post-operative care is provided? 

We create a comprehensive recovery plan including pain management, wound care, and activity restrictions. Dr. Mack is always available for questions, and we schedule follow-up appointments to monitor healing.
