Common Pet Surgeries

While there are a wide variety of surgeries performed on pets, some procedures are performed more frequently than others. Take a look at these common surgeries below:

Bone Fracture Surgery

Although our dogs and cats have big, strong bones, all that running and playing can sometimes lead to bone fractures. While we can handle most cases of bone fracture at Southside Veterinary hospital, severe cases must be handled by a specialist.

ACL Repair

Unfortunately, the knees of dogs aren’t the strongest, so it is common to experience issues in this area. If the problem is bad enough, it can turn into an ACL tear. While it may sound surprising, this is near the top of the list of the most common pet surgeries. We have extensive experience performing this type of surgery, and your pet should recover quickly.

Dental Surgery

Our dogs and cats get into pretty much anything. From that bush on the hiking trail to digging deep holes in your backyard, you never know what your pet will come into contact with. While their mouths are built to withstand plenty of bacteria, sometimes ingestion can lead to infection, which comes with many potential complications. To effectively clean the area and limit the spread of the infection, tooth removal is a common procedure performed by our veterinarian.

Spay and Neuter

Spay and neuter lead the pack as the most common pet surgery. While dogs are put under general anesthesia, cat neutering is much less invasive and is performed very quickly. These surgeries work to remove the reproductive organs in pets, eliminating the chance for unwanted litters, curbing aggressive behavior, and more.
