Soft Tissue Surgery
Our hospital provides a wide range of soft tissue surgical procedures with a strong emphasis on safety, comfort, and individualized care. Whether routine or more advanced, every procedure is performed with careful attention to pain management and a smooth recovery process.
We tailor anesthetic protocols to each patient and closely monitor vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure the highest level of safety.
Common soft tissue procedures include:
- Mass removals
- Spay and neuter
- Stenotic nares correction
- Episioplasty
- Enucleation
Our goal is not only to treat the condition at hand, but to support your pet through a calm, comfortable surgical experience and recovery.
Mass Removal
Lumps and bumps are common in pets, but not all masses are the same. Surgical removal allows for both treatment and diagnosis, as many masses are submitted for biopsy to determine their nature.
We recommend evaluation of any new or changing mass, especially those that:
- Are growing in size
- Change in appearance
- Cause discomfort
Early removal and diagnosis can be important for the best long-term outcome.
Spay & Neuter
Spaying and neutering are routine procedures that offer important health and behavioral benefits.
Spaying (ovariohysterectomy) helps prevent:
- Uterine infections (pyometra)
- Mammary tumors
- Unwanted pregnancy
Neutering (castration) can help reduce:
- Unwanted behaviors
- Risk of certain reproductive diseases
We use modern anesthetic protocols, pain management, and monitoring to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort before, during, and after surgery.
Stenotic Nares Surgery
Stenotic nares (narrow nostrils) are commonly seen in brachycephalic (short-nosed) breeds and can significantly impact breathing.
Surgical correction widens the nostrils to:
- Improve airflow
- Reduce respiratory effort
- Enhance overall quality of life
This procedure can make a meaningful difference in comfort, especially for pets that struggle with exercise tolerance or heat sensitivity.
Episioplasty
Episioplasty is a surgical procedure used to correct excessive skin folds around the vulva that can trap moisture and bacteria.
This condition can lead to:
- Chronic irritation
- Recurrent urinary tract infections
- Skin infections
By removing excess tissue, Episioplasty helps improve hygiene, reduce infection risk, and increase overall comfort.
Request an AppointmentEnucleation
Enucleation is the surgical removal of an eye, typically recommended when the eye is painful, non-functional, or affected by severe disease or trauma.
While this can sound overwhelming, pets often adapt very well, and experience significant relief once chronic pain is resolved.
Common reasons for enucleation include:
- Severe glaucoma
- Trauma
- Untreatable infection or disease
- Neoplasia
Our focus is on compassionate care, pain control, and helping both pets and owners through the transition.
