Routine Surgeries

​

  • Feline, Canine, and Rabbit Castration

​

Castrating your cat, dog, or rabbit comes with many benefits. It lowers the risk of cancers like testicular cancer and prevents unwanted litter, which can be a challenge for pet owners.

​

  • Feline and Canine Spay

​

Spaying is the removal of a female pet's reproductive organs. It is done for the same reasons as castration is done. This is to reduce the risk of disease as well as prevent unwanted litter.

​

  • Tumor Removal

​

Animals can develop tumors and these can either be benign or cancerous. Their removal for biopsy and possible treatment is of vital importance in making sure that your pet lives a full and healthy life.

​

  • Hernia Repair

​

If your pet needs hernia repair, Bayshore Veterinary Hospital provides the care they need. Hernia repair fixes a weak spot in the abdominal wall where tissue protrudes.

​

  • Laceration and Bite Wound Repair

​

At Bayshore Veterinary Hospital, we treat animal bites and lacerations with expert care to prevent infection and promote healing.

​

  • Porcupine Quill Removal

​

  • Pyometra (Infected Uterus)

​

When your female pet has a pyometra, immediate surgery is needed otherwise the condition could cause the death of your pet. Pyometra happens when the pet’s uterus is infected and becomes filled with pus.

​

  • C-Sections

​

If your pet is unable to give birth normally and requires a C-section, you can rely on Bayshore Veterinary Hospital to handle the procedure effectively and safely.

​

​

Tumor removal can be a complex surgery, depending on the tumor's location. At Bayshore Veterinary Hospital, we specialize in handling these challenging surgeries and perform biopsies to determine the tumor's nature.

​

  • Feeding Tube Placement

If your pet needs a feeding tube to be placed (for example, if the pet has a mouth or throat condition and can’t feed naturally) Bayshore Veterinary Hospital will guarantee that everything is done safely.

​

  • Eye Surgery

​

Some eye conditions that affect pets need eye surgery in order to be resolved. At Bayshore Veterinary Hospital, we have eye specialists who can undertake these surgeries.

​

  • Additional Soft Tissue Surgeries

Your pet may need various soft tissue surgeries, such as treatment for pancreatic inflammation or liver resection to remove infected areas. Bayshore Veterinary Hospital handles these procedures with professionalism and care.

​

Orthopedic Procedures

​

  • ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) Repair

​

This is a surgical procedure that is usually performed on dogs to repair an anterior cruciate ligament. This ligament is located near the knee and problems with it can cause the dog to walk with difficulty.

​​

  • Luxating Patella Repair

​

A luxating patella repair procedure refers to a condition where the ball in the knee joint slips out of its socket, mostly due to a traumatic injury. The procedure seeks to repair the condition, allowing your pet to walk normally again.

​

Preparing Your Pet for Surgery

​

Surgery Prep and Surgery Day

​

When preparing your pet for surgery, there are a few important things to remember. First, follow your vet's fasting instructions carefully. Make sure to give any prescribed medications leading up to and on the day of surgery. Bring along items that help comfort your pet to ease their anxiety. If you notice unusual behavior, let your vet know right away. If your pet will be under anesthesia, don’t feed them after 9 P.M. the night before; water is fine until drop-off. Drop-off is between 7:45 A.M. and 8:30 A.M., and you’ll be updated on their recovery.
