Pet Surgery
Contrary to popular belief, cats do not have nine lives and dogs are not indestructible. In order to give your pet a long, happy, and healthy life, it’s important to get them the medical care they need or any care they need following an accident or injury. One of the most common pet care services that your pet might need at least once in her life is pet surgery. Just like humans, pet surgery can be a life-saving tool that can help restore your pet’s health.
Whether you need emergency or elective pet surgery, we have you covered. At Randolph Animal Hospital in Randolph, MA, our veterinarian team can help you decide what is the best course of action and treatment for your pet. Whether that’s pet surgery, doing elective surgeries, or other types of pet care, we can help you make the right decision and keep your pet healthy.
What Is Pet Surgery Used For?
There are two types of pet surgery known as elective and regular pet surgery. Elective surgery are surgeries such as spaying and neutering services. These types of surgeries are not necessary. However, they can help your pet live longer and reduce the risk of other illnesses. For instance, spaying and neutering can decrease the risk of certain cancers such as testicular cancer or breast cancer in dogs and cats.
Other types of pet surgery might be needed for emergency cases. For instance, if your pet has an intestinal blockage, or has tumors inside of its body, a veterinarian on our team might recommend pet surgery in order to save their life.
How Can a Veterinarian Help?
As a pet owner, it’s important for you to make an informed decision when it comes to the care of your pet. Pet surgery can be difficult, and there can be a risk factor associated with your pet surgery. A veterinarian at our animal hospital can help you decide and determine if pet surgery is the right treatment option.
After surgery, a veterinarian at our animal hospital can also conduct follow-up care to determine if your pet’s surgery is helping them. They can also recommend advice to help your pet recover fast at home. This may include using medications to help ease their pain, providing antibiotics to reduce the risk of infection, and other helpful changes.
A vet on our team can also conduct yearly exams after to help monitor the health of your pet.
