Soft Tissue Surgeries

Our experienced surgical team offers a wide range of soft tissue procedures, including:

Cat Laying Down
Upper Airway Surgeries

If your pet is struggling to breath due to brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome or laryngeal paralysis, surgery can provide much-needed relief by opening the airway. 

Head and Neck Procedures

Our specialists perform a range of procedures to address medical conditions affecting the ears, throat, salivary glands, and more. This includes bulla osteotomies to treat chronic ear infections and parathyroidectomies for hormone-related disorders.

Thoracic Surgeries

We perform lung lobectomies, pyothorax treatment, and thoracic wall mass removals to treat conditions affecting the lungs and chest cavity. These procedures help restore lung function, clear infections, and improve comfort.

Abdominal Procedures

Our team performs surgeries on the liver, gallbladder, spleen, intestines, kidneys, bladder, urethra, and reproductive organs to treat disease, remove obstructions, and improve overall health.

Anal Gland and Perianal Surgeries

For chronic infections, tumors, and other perianal conditions we perform surgeries to relieve discomfort, prevent complications, and improve quality of life.

For patients with extensive tumors or severe injuries, we perform advanced surgeries to restore function and promote healing with precision and care.

When a luxation of a hip, elbow or other joint occurs, we can help with either closed reduction and immobilization or surgical fixation if necessary
