What You Should Know: Surgery for Pets

Surgery is sometimes necessary to improve or even save your pet’s life. While the idea of your fur baby needing surgery can feel stressful, our team will answer any and all questions that will make you feel more comfortable.

Is anesthesia safe for pets?
Generally, yes. Our veterinary team follows strict pre-surgical assessments and anesthesia monitoring protocols to minimize any risks.

How do I prepare my pet for surgery?
You will be provided with detailed pre-operative instructions prior to your pet’s surgery, such as fasting guidelines, in order to make sure that your companion is ready for their big day.

What is the recovery process like after my cat or dog has surgery?
Recovery times vary depending on the procedure, but rest, pain management, and follow-up care are key components of a successful healing process.

Will my pet be in pain after surgery?
We use pain management techniques, including medications and post-op care instructions, to keep your pet as comfortable as possible while they recover.

Our veterinary team at Just For Pets Animal Hospital performs many soft-tissue surgeries.

Some of the most common procedures we perform include:

Spay & Neuter: Spaying and neutering procedures prevent pregnancies and have long-term health benefits.
Foreign Body Removal: Removing swallowed objects that may cause blockages or intestinal damage.
Mass Removal: Safe and effective removal of tumors, cysts, or lumps.
Splenectomy: Surgical removal of the spleen due to disease or injury.
Cystotomy: Removal of bladder stones to prevent urinary issues.
Cherry Eye Correction: Repairing prolapsed gland of the third eyelid.
Gastrointestinal (GI) Surgery: Addressing stomach or intestinal concerns, such as obstructions.
Exploratory Surgery: Investigating internal issues when a clear diagnosis is not possible through X-ray or ultrasound imaging.

Why does your pet need blood work before surgery?

Before surgery, a pre-operative consultation with diagnostic testing is necessary to verify that your fur kid is healthy enough to undergo anesthesia and the procedure itself. A physical exam checks overall health, including heart and lung function. Running blood work evaluates organ function, blood cell counts, and clotting ability to detect any underlying conditions that would complicate the surgical process.

Based on your pet’s individual health status, our veterinarians will personalize our approach to minimize risk. A pre-surgical screening is very much needed to reduce surgical risks and complications during recovery.
