We perform many types of soft tissue surgeries at our clinic. Soft tissue surgeries are those that are not associated with bone. These surgeries can provide many benefits to pets.

Probably the most common soft tissue surgery performed is the removal of masses, or lumps. Most of these masses, once removed and tested, are found to be benign (non-cancerous); however, occasionally they are more serious. Early removal and accurate diagnosis of a lump is necessary to improve the outcome in your pet if the mass is cancerous.

Other surgeries offered at our practices include:

• Intestinal foreign body removal
• Cystotomy (to retrieve bladder stones)
• Prophylactic gastropexy (“tacking” of stomach for at-risk breeds)
• Enucleations (eye removal)
• Hernia repair
• Anal gland flushing or removal
• Eyelid abnormality corrections (entropion, ectropion)
• and many more…
