Some of the most common surgeries we perform include spays and neuters, which are important for population control and can also provide health benefits for your pet. Spaying (for females) and neutering (for males) involve removing the reproductive organs, which can prevent certain cancers and behavioral issues. We also frequently perform mass removals, a procedure to excise suspicious lumps or growths that may be benign or potentially cancerous.
If you notice any unusual lumps, bumps, or changes in your pet's behavior, it's crucial to have them examined promptly. Our experienced veterinary team is here to address your concerns and determine if surgery might be necessary for your pet's well-being. Don't hesitate to contact Plainfield Veterinary Clinic if you're worried about your pet's health or have questions about these common surgical procedures. We're committed to providing the best care for your furry family members.
We strive to make the surgery process as comfortable and stress-free as possible for your pet. Surgery typically begins with a thorough pre-operative assessment of the animal. This includes a physical examination, blood tests, and sometimes imaging studies to ensure the pet is healthy enough for anesthesia and the procedure. Once cleared, the pet is prepared for surgery by administering pre-anesthetic medications to help them relax and provide pain relief. The surgical site is then shaved and cleaned to create a sterile field.
In the operating room, the veterinary team induces general anesthesia and monitors the pet's vital signs throughout the procedure. The surgeon performs the operation using sterile instruments and techniques. After the surgery is complete, the incision is closed with sutures or surgical staples. The pet is then moved to a recovery area where they are closely monitored as they wake up from anesthesia.
After surgery, your pet will require special care to ensure proper healing. This typically includes pain management through prescribed medications, careful wound care to prevent infection, and follow-up appointments to monitor recovery progress. Your veterinarian will provide specific instructions tailored to your pet's needs, which may include restricted activity, special feeding guidelines, or the use of protective collars. Throughout this process, from pre-operative care to full recovery, the veterinary team at Plainfield Veterinary Clinic prioritizes your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being, ensuring the best possible outcome for your furry family member.
