Soft-Tissue Surgery in Alburtis
Expert surgery with compassionate care.
Surgery is sometimes necessary for treating injuries, infections, growths, and other medical conditions in dogs and cats.
At Alburtis Animal Hospital, we perform soft-tissue surgery in Alburtis with careful attention to each patient before, during, and after their procedure. If your furry friend needs surgery, we will take the time to explain why surgery is recommended, what the procedure involves, and what you can expect during your pet’s recovery.
Soft-Tissue Surgical Procedures We Perform
Soft-tissue surgery refers to procedures involving areas of the body outside the bones, joints, and ligaments. These surgeries can address a wide range of medical concerns.
Procedures available at Alburtis Animal Hospital include:
Mass removals
Lumps and growths may need removal because of their size, location, appearance, growth, or potential effect on your pet’s health. Your veterinarian can discuss whether removal and further evaluation are appropriate.
Bladder stone removal
Bladder stones can cause pain, urinary problems, inflammation, or obstruction. When surgery is recommended, the stones can be removed directly from the bladder.
Wound repair
Significant wounds may require veterinary treatment to clean damaged tissue and properly close or manage the affected area.
Abscess repair
An abscess is a pocket of infection that can develop beneath the skin. Treatment may require drainage, cleaning, and additional medical care to address the infection.
The appropriate treatment depends on your pet’s condition. We will examine your dog or cat and discuss available options before recommending surgery.
Preparing Your Pet for Surgery
Before a procedure, our veterinary team evaluates your pet and reviews their medical history. Depending on your pet’s age, health, and planned surgery, we may recommend diagnostic testing to gather more information before anesthesia.
We will also provide instructions for preparing your pet at home. These may include directions about food, water, medications, and arrival time.
If you have questions about anesthesia, the procedure, expected recovery, or your responsibilities after surgery, please ask. Knowing what to expect can make the process easier for both you and your pet.

Helping Your Pet Recover at Home
Your pet’s care continues after they leave the hospital. Rest, proper incision care, and following the discharge instructions we provide can help support a smooth recovery. Depending on the procedure, your pet may need restricted exercise and an Elizabethan collar or another method to prevent licking or chewing the surgical area.
Monitor the incision as instructed and give prescribed medications according to their directions. Contact us if you notice concerning swelling, discharge, bleeding, an opening of the incision, significant changes in behavior, or other symptoms that concern you.
