Surgical Procedures We Offer for Dogs and Cats

In addition to spay and neuter procedures, Van Crest Animal Hospital provides a variety of surgical treatments designed to address both routine and medically necessary conditions.

Eye Removal for Severe Disease or Injury

Certain eye conditions can cause significant pain or irreversible damage. When medical treatment is no longer effective, surgical removal of the eye may be recommended to relieve discomfort and protect your pet’s overall health. Our team approaches these procedures with careful planning and compassionate postoperative care.

Foreign Body Removal

Pets sometimes swallow objects such as toys, bones, or household items that can become lodged in the digestive tract. Surgical removal may be necessary to prevent intestinal blockage or internal injury. Our veterinarians act quickly to safely remove foreign objects and support your pet’s recovery.

Mass and Tumor Removal

If your pet develops a lump or abnormal growth, surgical removal may be recommended for diagnosis or treatment. Our team carefully evaluates each mass and may recommend laboratory analysis to better understand the nature of the growth and guide future care.

Bladder Stone Surgery

Bladder stones can lead to pain, urinary difficulty, and potentially dangerous blockages. When dietary or medical management is not enough, surgery may be required to remove the stones and restore normal urinary function.

Limb or Tail Amputation

In cases of severe injury, infection, or cancer, amputation may offer the best chance for a comfortable and active life. Pets often adapt remarkably well after these procedures, and our team provides supportive care throughout recovery.

Ear Hematoma Repair

Ear hematomas occur when blood collects between layers of the ear flap, often due to scratching or head shaking. Surgical treatment can relieve discomfort and reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

Dental Surgery and Tooth Extractions

Some dental conditions require surgical treatment beyond routine cleanings. Our veterinarians perform tooth extractions and other dental procedures to address infection, fractures, or oral tumors while helping restore comfort in the mouth. Routine dental care is also available through our dental services.
