Our Surgical Services for Cats
- Knee Cap Dislocation: We offer surgical treatment for knee cap dislocations, assessing the impact on your cat's joint stability and mobility. Our goal is to restore the kneecap to its proper position, alleviate discomfort, and help your cat regain strength and movement with improved confidence.
- FHO Surgery: Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) surgery is performed to relieve hip pain in cats suffering from joint damage. By removing the damaged part of the hip joint, we enable a functional false joint to form, helping your cat regain comfort and mobility through proper recovery and gradual movement.
- Hip Dysplasia: When your cat has hip dysplasia, we perform thorough assessments, including physical exams and imaging, to determine the extent of the condition. Based on our findings, we may recommend surgery to improve hip function, reduce pain, and help your cat enjoy an active, comfortable life.
- Soft Tissue Surgery: Soft tissue surgeries involve repairing injuries or removing growths affecting your cat’s skin, muscles, or internal organs. We provide gentle, precise surgery for cats to address a range of concerns, ensuring your cat’s healing process is smooth and stress-free.
- Spay & Neuter: Our spay and neuter procedures help prevent health issues and unwanted behaviors. With proficient monitoring and a focus on safety, we ensure your cat’s comfort during routine surgeries and provide post-operative care to support a smooth, quick recovery.
Preparing for Your Cat’s Surgery
Preparation is key to a successful surgical outcome. We begin with a thorough pre-surgical evaluation to assess your cat’s overall health and ensure they are ready for the procedure. Our team will provide you with detailed instructions, including fasting guidelines and any necessary adjustments to medications or routines. By following these steps, you ensure your cat’s surgery goes smoothly and safely.
What to Expect on Surgery Day
On the day of surgery, your cat will be carefully checked in and prepared. We’ll review any final instructions with you, and vital signs will be closely monitored throughout the procedure. The steps involved include:
- Pre-surgery assessment to ensure safety
- Gentle sedation for comfort
- Continuous monitoring during surgery
- Recovery observation post-procedure
In most cases, your cat will return home the same day to begin their recovery, though some surgeries may require a longer stay for observation.
Post-Surgery Care for a Quick Recovery
After surgery, following recovery instructions carefully is crucial for your cat’s healing. You will be given guidance on medication schedules, activity restrictions, and proper incision care. Recovery tips often include:
- Keeping your cat in a quiet, comfortable space
- Preventing licking or biting at the incision site
- Limiting jumping or running to avoid strain
- Monitoring their eating, drinking, and behavior
Close attention to these instructions ensures a smoother recovery process and reduces the risk of complications.
