Pet Soft Tissue Surgery

Pet Soft Tissue Surgery at Heart Lake Veterinary Hospital

Soft tissue surgeries are any type of surgery that does not involve bone. This may include lump removals (lumpectomy), foreign body removals (enterotomy) or bladder stone removal (cystotomy), to name just a few of the most common procedures we perform at Heart Lake Veterinary Hospital.

Whatever the case may be, we ensure that your pet receives the best care on the day of surgery. This includes pre-anesthetic blood testing to ensure healthy organ function to eliminate anesthesia safely from their systems. All of our surgical patients are placed on IV fluids to keep them well hydrated throughout the procedure. This ultimately helps to stabilize blood pressure as well as helping to flush out anesthetic medications for a rapid and smooth recovery. During anesthesia, your pet is wrapped in a warm air pillow to stabilize their body temperature. We utilize modern anesthetic techniques and drugs tailored specifically to your pet’s needs. All patients are sent home with post operative pain medication and a home care discharge sheet with your pet’s specific instructions written out for you.
