We perform many types of soft tissue surgeries at our clinic. Soft tissue surgeries are those that are not associated with bone. These surgeries can provide many benefits to pets.
Probably the most common soft tissue surgery performed on pets is the removal of masses, or lumps. Most of these masses, once removed and tested, are found to be benign (nonharmful); however, occasionally they are more serious. Early removal and accurate diagnosis of a lump is necessary to improve the outcome in your pet if the mass is cancerous.
Surgery can also help resolve several problems related to the eyes. Entropion is a condition where the eyelids roll inward toward the eyes and it is a common problem in several breeds of dog. When this happens the hair rubs against the cornea causing pain and corneal ulcers. We can repair entropion surgically and enhance the pet’s vision, comfort, and long term quality of life.
