PET SURGERIES

Types of Pet Surgeries

Spaying and neutering are basic surgeries we do at Parkview Animal Hospital in Lincoln. It is a relatively simple procedure that can be done in a short amount of time. To avoid unwanted births of animals, we always recommend spaying or neutering.

Surgery is one of the common treatments for various types of cancer. This is a more complicated procedure and may mean we will need to keep your pet a few days. Cancer treatments are expensive but can prolong the life of your pet and increase their quality of life.

Stomach surgeries are needed when a pet’s digestive tract gets clogged. This can be caused by something a pet swallows and can stop the digestive tract, requiring surgery to get it unstuck. Exploratory surgery is rare, but it is done at times when certain conditions cannot otherwise be diagnosed.

Bone and joint repair is another area where pet surgeries have taken a big step forward. These procedures have become some of the most common procedures a veterinarian does. Fractures and dislocations are also fairly common procedures and sometimes need a specialist’s attention. We also do amputations when they are required.
