Soft-tissue Surgery

Any surgery not concerning the bone is considered a soft tissue surgery. Our doctors at Alta View Animal Hospital regularly perform soft tissue surgeries on our patients to alleviate pain or prevent life threatening medical conditions. The most common type of soft tissue surgeries are spay, neuter and the removal of a lump/mass from an animal. Many of these lumps are benign (not cancerous) however early detection and removal provide the best outcome for your pet if they are malignant (cancerous).

Animals occasionally suffer lacerations from bite wounds, being struck with objects or accidentally running into branches, etc. These wounds may need surgery to close the area and prevent infection. feel free to contact one of our veterinarians if you have any questions about our surgical procedures.

Pain management is also introduce before and after surgery. Please contact our veterinarians if you have any question about surgical procedures offerd at Alta View Animal Hospital.
