What Is Pet Surgery?

Pet surgery covers a wide range of procedures, from routine spaying and neutering to more complex orthopedic surgeries and tumor removal. Each individual case can be unique, influenced by your pet's age, health, and the specific issue requiring treatment.

Spaying and Neutering

Spaying and neutering, also known as sterilization, are among the most common elective surgeries performed on pets. These procedures offer numerous benefits for both your animal and the community:

●             Reduced risk of certain cancers and infections: Spaying and neutering reduce the risk of cancers in pets as well as other diseases.

●             Behavioral improvements: Both male and female pets often exhibit calmer behavior after neutering or spaying, reducing territorial marking, roaming, and aggression.

●             Population control: Sterilization helps prevent unwanted litters, contributing to a more manageable number of stray animals in our communities.

Other Surgical Scenarios

Beyond spaying and neutering, pets may require surgery for several reasons, including tumor removal, injury repair and more. If you think your pet may need pet surgery, give us a call and we will take a look at your pet’s situation and give you a personalized treatment plan.

What to Expect during Your Pet's Surgery

At Apex Animal Hospital, we prioritize clear communication and transparency throughout the surgical process. Here's a general overview of what you might expect:

●             Pre-surgical consultation: This discussion may cover your pet's medical history, the specific procedure, potential risks and benefits, and anesthesia considerations.

●             Pre-operative testing: Bloodwork and other tests assess your pet's overall health and ensure he is a suitable candidate for surgery.

●             Post-surgical care: We will help you monitor your pet's recovery and provide pain management and aftercare instructions.
