Expert Pet General Surgery in Wausau, WI
At Wisconsin Valley Veterinary Service, we understand that surgical procedures for pets can be a significant concern for pet owners. Our commitment to providing comprehensive and compassionate care is reflected in our pet general surgery services, which we designed to address a variety of health issues that may require surgical intervention. We aim to ensure that each surgical procedure is performed with the highest level of skill and attention to detail, prioritizing your pet’s safety and well-being throughout the process.
Pet Dental and Surgical Services
Our pet dentistry and surgical services are designed to address a wide range of dental and surgical needs, ensuring your pet receives comprehensive care for excellent oral health and overall well-being.
Ultrasonic Scaling and Polish
Our ultrasonic scaling and polishing procedures are designed to maintain your pet’s dental health. Ultrasonic scaling uses high-frequency vibrations to remove plaque and tartar from the surface of the teeth, effectively cleaning areas that traditional brushing cannot reach. This is followed by polishing to smooth the teeth and reduce the likelihood of future plaque buildup. Regular dental cleanings help prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and other oral health issues.
Extractions (Simple and Surgical)
Tooth extractions may be necessary if a tooth is damaged, decayed, or infected beyond repair. Simple extractions involve removing teeth that are easily accessible and can be done with minimal intervention. Surgical extractions are more complex and involve the removal of teeth that are broken, impacted, or require more extensive procedures to extract. Our approach ensures that your pet’s comfort and recovery are prioritized throughout the process.
Pet Soft Tissue Surgery Services
Our soft tissue surgery services focus on addressing a variety of internal conditions with precision and care, ensuring your pet’s health and comfort throughout the recovery process.
Pet Spay and Neuter
Front Declaws
Front declawing involves the surgical removal of the claws from the front paws. This procedure is often considered for cats that have severe clawing behavior that damages furniture or causes other issues. It’s important to discuss the implications and alternatives with our veterinary team before proceeding.
Dewclaw Removal
Dewclaw removal involves removing the small, non-weight-bearing claw located on the inner side of the dog’s front or rear legs. This procedure is typically performed on puppies and may be done for cosmetic reasons or to prevent injury.
C-Section (Caesarean Section)
Bladder Stone Removal
Bladder stone removal involves the surgical removal of stones from the bladder that can cause discomfort, infection, or blockages. This procedure is necessary to relieve symptoms and restore normal urinary function.
Mass/Tumor Removal
Surgical removal of masses or tumors is performed to address abnormal growths on your pet’s body. This procedure involves excising the tumor or mass along with some surrounding tissue to ensure complete removal. Diagnostic tests may be conducted on the removed tissue to determine the nature of the growth and guide further treatment if needed.
Ensuring Smooth Recovery with Detailed Post-Surgery Care
After surgery, our focus shifts to ensuring a smooth recovery for your pet. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and closely monitor your pet to address any post-surgical needs. Pain management and follow-up appointments are essential to the recovery process, helping your pet heal comfortably and return to normal activities as soon as possible.
Our approach to pet general surgery at Wisconsin Valley Veterinary Service emphasizes the technical aspects of the procedures as well as the compassionate care that your pet deserves. We are committed to providing clear communication and support throughout the surgical process, from initial consultation to post-operative care.
