Why Pet Surgery Is Essential for Your Pet’s Health
Learn When and Why pets need surgery?
Common Reasons for Pet Surgery
Sometimes, your pet sustains an injury. Other times, pets have congenital issues (problems from birth). Skeletal defects are common in certain breeds of dogs and often require surgery.
If an injury or illness requires antibiotics and the infection progresses beyond antibiotic treatment, soft tissue surgery may heal the affected area. Surgery may also remove tumors in pets, especially those with cancer.
Importance of Early Intervention
You may be tempted to put pet surgery off. However, prompt treatment is always best.
Scheduling surgery as soon as you know it’s needed could improve your pet’s prognosis and reduce the recovery time involved. With early intervention, your pet may only require minor surgery. That’s easier on your pet (and more affordable than advanced procedures).
Advanced Orthopedic Surgery for Pets
Are you wondering, “When does my pet need orthopedic surgery?” Let’s take a look.
What Is Orthopedic Surgery for Pets?
In pets, orthopedic surgery typically treats muscles, bones, ligaments, and joints. Our surgeons repair torn ligaments, fractures, and joints that fall out of alignment.
Common Orthopedic Conditions Treated
Orthopedic surgery is beneficial for treating a number of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- Fractures
- Hip dysplasia
- Patellar luxation (dislocated knee cap)
- Ligament tears
For example, you might call our clinic if your pet is limping, favoring one leg when walking, or having trouble getting up.
Advanced Techniques and Equipment
At Midway Road Animal Clinic, we offer cutting-edge surgical techniques and equipment to help restore your pet to full health. We adhere to the highest care standards recommended by the American College of Veterinary Surgeons.

Preparing for Your Pet’s Surgery
Surgery doesn’t have to be a stressful affair for pets or their owners.
Pre-Surgery Consultation and Tests
Before surgery, we will answer any questions about what to expect. We also perform diagnostic tests to ensure your pet is healthy enough to undergo the procedure.
Did testing reveal any concerns? We’ll let you know if postponing the surgery is necessary. For example, we would treat your pet’s infection before proceeding with any surgical procedure.
How To Prepare Your Pet at Home
The night before surgery, prepare a safe, quiet area where your pet can recover.
In the morning, don’t allow your pet access to food or water. Aspirating while under anesthesia can be life-threatening.
Your surgeon will want to reach you with any updates, so ensure we have your number.
What To Expect During and After Surgery
Wondering what to expect during pet surgery recovery?
Anesthesia and Monitoring
Before surgery, we administer anesthesia to your pet through an IV. Your pet will fall asleep and not feel any discomfort.
We monitor your pet’s vital signs throughout surgery. They will be safe and comfortable.
Post-Surgery Care and Recovery
After the procedure, we’ll provide post-surgery care instructions and schedule a follow-up visit to check the healing progress. We may also prescribe medication for pain management after pet surgery.
Allow your pet to rest. Restrict activity (jumping, playing, etc.) until your vet determines that the surgical wound has healed.
