Veterinary Surgery
Surgical Services for Dogs & Cats
At Breadner Veterinary Services, we offer a wide range of surgical procedures to help maintain and restore good health for your dog or cat.
Our team knows that the prospect of bringing your beloved companion in for surgery can be upsetting. Rest assured that we only recommend surgery when we feel it is in the best interests of your four-legged friend.
We strive to ensure that you fully understand why we are recommending a particular surgery for your furry family member, and that you feel fully informed and comfortable making the decision to go ahead with the procedure.
Surgical Procedures
Our Saanichton veterinarians may perform or refer the following elective and non-elective surgeries:
-
Soft Tissue Surgery
Soft tissue surgery covers a range of ear, nose, and throat procedures as well as mass removals and treatment of flesh wounds. Almost all surgical procedures not covered under the heading of orthopedic surgery may be considered soft tissue surgery.
Soft tissue surgery also includes procedures for hepatic, urogenital, oncological, cardiothoracic, gastrointestinal, and skin disorders.
-
Spaying & Neutering
Spaying and neutering are very common surgical procedures performed to sterilize cats and dogs. These surgeries also help prevent disease, curb unwanted behaviours, and overall provide an extended life expectancy.
-
Mass Removal
Masses can grow on or just under the skin or inside a body cavity. While some masses may be removed for aesthetic purposes, other masses can be serious or even life-threatening.
-
Foreign Body Removal
Sometimes, foreign objects are ingested by cats and dogs and become stuck inside their body. Whether they have eaten an object they shouldn't have, or an accident has left something lodged in them, we can perform foreign body surgery to remove it.
-
Wound Repair
Wounds occur when living tissue has been cut, broken, burnt, torn, or otherwise damaged. It's imperative that these wounds be cleaned, disinfected, and appropriately cared for by a qualified veterinarian as soon as possible in order to avoid infection and other complications.
-
Dental Surgery
Our veterinarians provide dental surgeries to relieve pain and restore good oral health to dogs and cats. These surgeries can range from tooth extractions to gum disease treatment and oral mass removals.
The Surgery Process
Before any surgery, we will complete a thorough pre-surgical assessment. This includes a physical examination of your cat or dog, as well as blood tests to determine if they face any risk of anesthesia-related complications.
During each surgery, one of our team members will administer anesthesia and continuously monitor your beloved companion using electronic patient monitoring equipment. Pain management will also be provided.
Post-operative monitoring and pain management are priorities following surgery. Your veterinarian will also provide thorough instructions for at-home care.
Sterilization Protocols
Surgical protocols at our clinic include dedicated surgical suites, which are kept completely sterile to prevent infection and cross-contamination.
We carefully clean, sterilize and wrap our surgical instruments and equipment prior to every surgery.
