Soft-Tissue Surgery

Soft tissue surgeries are a critical part of veterinary medicine, addressing a wide range of health conditions in pets. These surgeries are used to treat masses, tumors, hernias, and defects in internal organs, as well as cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, skin, and urogenital disorders. Soft tissue surgeries encompass everything outside of the neurological system, bones, muscles, and joints, including surgeries related to the liver, spleen, pancreas, bladder, and more.
At Canton Animal Hospital, our skilled veterinary team performs a variety of soft tissue surgeries. These procedures range from routine mass removals and laceration repairs to complex surgeries, such as oncological, cardiothoracic, and urogenital procedures. We use the latest surgical techniques and equipment to ensure that each procedure is performed safely and effectively.
In addition to planned soft tissue surgeries, our team is also available for emergency situations. We do our best to stay on call to perform procedures related to internal bleeding, bite wounds, bloating, and other critical conditions. Our goal is to provide prompt and effective care to alleviate your pet's pain and prevent further complications.

Surgical care at CAH
Our veterinarians adhere to the highest standard of care for all surgical procedures. Our doctors place the uppermost priority on pain management to ensure that your pet is safe and comfortable throughout the entire surgical procedure (pre-peri, and post-operation). Care doesn’t stop at pre-operative care, we ensure that pet parents are instructed with all pre-surgical dietary restrictions, and procedural updates, and have the correct paperwork filed to make the surgery day less stressful. All vaccination requirements and pre-surgery administrative needs are handled seamlessly by hospital staff. After surgery, our technicians monitor the patient until fully awake.
Prioritizing post-operative care for best outcomes
Your pet may experience mild, moderate, or severe pain after soft-tissue surgery, for which reason your veterinary team employs both preventative and multimodal pain management techniques and protocols to help your pet heal with the magnitude of surgical trauma they may experience. These protocols require different degrees of care depending on the severity of the surgical procedure needed. Depending on the nature of your pet’s condition and especially in the case of major soft-tissue surgeries, your pet will stay at the hospital under supervised care. If your pet is sick, needs intensive care or experiences any surgical complications, a longer stay may be necessary prior to discharge. At the time of discharge, our team will walk you through a multitude of post-operative care procedures that you can monitor at home as well as any other recommendations that will aid in a swift and healthy recovery for your pet.
