Arlington Pet Surgery Procedures

No matter how healthy your pet may be, the time may come when you need to arrange for a surgical procedure at an animal hospital. While some pet surgeries address routine or preventative health issues, others may be necessary to preserve your dog or cat’s quality of life -- or possibly even save that life. If you are looking for an Arlington veterinarian, we hope you will consider the caring professionals here at All Creatures Veterinary Service.

Some surgeries are aimed at preserving good health. Spaying or neutering, for instance, not only helps to control the puppy and kitten population but also offers other significant benefits. Sterilized pets have less chance of developing cancerous tumors, experience less anxiety and exhibit fewer behavioral problems.

Other types of surgery correct chronic conditions that may endanger your pet’s life, such as a twisted stomach that makes normal digestion impossible or a short airway that obstructs breathing. If your dog or cat has suffered from a torn ligament, arthritis or other joint damage, surgical reconstruction can restore functionality and freedom of motion while relieving pain.

Malignant cancers or other threats to your pet’s health can also be dealt with surgically. The most obvious need for surgery stems from an emergency situation such as a car impact or other traumatic injury. This is a frightening time for pet and pet owner alike, so we encourage you to keep our number and address handy just in case an emergency occurs.
