Your pet is family, and considering surgery can be scary. The veterinary professionals at Animal Medical Center of Appleton understand that pet surgery can be nerve-wracking, but we have the experience and advice to help ease your stress. We will get your dog, cat, rabbit, bird or rodent back on his or her feet in no time. There are two main types of surgery your animal may require:
- Orthopedic – a surgeon may fix dislocated joints, broken bones or bone-related issues, such as torn ligaments. Cat orthopedic procedures may also include feline declawing. Canine arthritis can be cause for dog orthopedic services.
- Soft tissue – surgery of skin, organs and/or tissue is required to treat disease, perform a skin biopsy and repair damage. Pets may need to have tumors or foreign objects removed, wound repair or eye treatments.
Improving the Lives of Cats, Dogs, Rabbits & More
You may realize your pet needs medical care in Appleton because of the results of a wellness visit, odd behavior, changes to your pet that you discover at home or because of a traumatic event. If your kitten is injured, for example, you may get pet X-rays that will indicate the need for orthopedic surgery. Depending upon the severity of the issue, your pet may need to stay overnight at the animal hospital to be monitored. In other cases, you may be able to bring your friend home the same day.
