Surgery

During Cesarean sections, we surgically remove puppies or kittens from their mother's uterus.

C-sections are typically performed when the mother is unable to give birth naturally.

Our veterinarians provide dental surgeries for dogs and cats. These surgeries can range from tooth extractions to gum disease treatment and jaw fracture repairs.

If your pet is experiencing pain, redness or other symptoms in or around their eyes, they may need ocular surgery.

Common ocular procedures for cats and dogs include eyelid tumor removal, cataract surgery, ectropion surgery, entropion surgery, exenteration of the orbit and cherry eye surgery.

If your cat or dog requires a veterinary surgical specialist to perform the surgery, our veterinarians will refer you to a pet surgeon near Turlock and work closely with your animal surgeon to ensure that your pet receives the best possible care. 

Sometimes, foreign objects are ingested or can get stuck inside a cat's or dog's body.

Whether your pet has eaten an object they shouldn't have or an accident has left them injured, we can perform foreign body surgery to remove it.

In some cases, specialized skills or equipment are needed to perform pet surgery. If that is the case for your animal, your vet will refer you to a cat or dog surgeon near Turlock and work closely with your veterinary surgeon to ensure that your dog or cat receives the very best care.

Orthopedic surgeries correct injuries and diseases of the bones, ligaments, joints, tendons, and other skeletal structures in your pet.

If your dog or cat is suffering from a condition or injury that requires advanced specialized care your vet will refer your dog or cat to a vet surgeon near Turlock.

Cats and dogs can develop masses associated with the skin. Masses can also grow inside a body cavity and can be serious or life-threatening. Mass removal surgery is a fairly common procedure for both cats and dogs.

For pets suffering from ear, nose, and throat disorders, we offer soft tissue surgical procedures.

These procedures are also available for hepatic, urogenital, oncological, cardiothoracic, gastrointestinal, and skin disorders. 

When we spay or neuter a cat or dog, we surgically sterilize them to prevent disease and provide them with an extended life expectancy. 

Wounds occur when living tissue has been cut, broken, burnt, torn, or otherwise damaged.

It's imperative that these wounds be cleaned, disinfected, and appropriately cared for by a qualified veterinarian as soon as possible. 

TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) is a common corrective surgery for a torn cranial cruciate ligament (CCL). This injury is similar to an ACL tear in humans although in dogs is generally due to the slow deterioration of the ligaments surrounding the knee rather than sudden injury. 

This common orthopedic procedure is a very effective long-term solution for addressing this injury and most dogs have a good outcome with the procedure. 

Patellar luxation (dislocation) is a condition in your pet where the kneecap sits and moves outside the groove when the knee is flexed. Surgery may be recommended if your dog has recurrent or persistent lameness or if other knee injuries occur secondary to the luxating patella.

Soft Palate Reduction surgery is the removal of the distal end of the soft palate.

If the soft tissue at the back of the roof of your pet's mouth grows too long for your pet, removal is necessary to reduce any respiratory issues your pet is having.

Bloat, also known as gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV) complex, is a medical and surgical emergency. When your dog experiences bloat their stomach will fill with air and cut off the blood supply from the back legs, and abdomen from returning to the heart.

Cystotomy is a surgical procedure where an incision is made into your pet's urinary bladder.

The surgery will be done for a variety of reasons, the most common being to help with the removal of the bladder and urethral stones.
