When Does a Pet Need Soft Tissue Surgery?
Soft tissue surgery covers any procedure that does not involve bones or joints. Our veterinarians commonly recommend it for:
- Lumps, masses and skin tumors that need removal or biopsy
- Wounds, lacerations and abscesses that need surgical repair
- Swallowed objects causing a stomach or intestinal blockage
- Bladder stones (cystotomy)
- Hernias, eyelid problems and other conditions affecting the skin, ears or abdomen
Every case starts with an exam and diagnostics so we can explain why surgery is needed and what to expect.
What Is Veterinary Soft Tissue Surgery?
Soft tissue surgery treats problems in the skin, muscles, and internal organs such as the stomach, intestines, bladder and spleen. Some procedures are quick and routine, like removing a small skin mass. Others, like removing a swallowed toy from the intestines, are urgent and can save a pet’s life.
Whatever the procedure, our approach is the same: a careful diagnosis, a clear explanation of your options and costs, and a surgical plan built around your pet’s age, health and comfort. Tissue removed during surgery can be sent to a veterinary laboratory so you get a definite answer about what it was.
