Surgery

Compassionate Veterinary Surgery

At Ox Bottom Animal Hospital, we understand that surgery is sometimes an essential part of your pet’s health journey.

Whether it’s a routine spay or a more urgent procedure, our skilled veterinary team is committed to providing safe, compassionate surgical care that supports healing and long-term wellness.

We treat every patient as if they were our own—delivering the highest standard of care in a calm, supportive environment.

What Is Soft Tissue Surgery?

Soft tissue surgery refers to any procedure involving the skin, muscles, internal organs, or non-bony structures. Our team regularly performs a range of soft tissue surgeries, including:

• Spay and neuter
• Mass and tumor removal
• Biopsies for diagnosis
• Foreign body removal from the stomach or intestines
• Bladder stone removal

These procedures can address both preventative and urgent medical needs, from reducing the risk of certain cancers to resolving potentially life-threatening blockages.

Personalized Surgical Planning

No two pets are alike—and that’s why we take the time to develop individualized surgical plans.

Before any procedure, we perform a thorough physical exam and may recommend pre-anesthetic bloodwork to evaluate organ function and minimize risk.

Factors like your pet’s age, breed, weight, and health history all help us determine the safest approach to anesthesia and surgery.

Monitoring and Safety Protocols

During every surgical procedure, your pet is continuously monitored by trained staff using advanced equipment to track heart rate, respiratory function, oxygen levels, blood pressure, and temperature.

Our goal is to ensure your pet remains stable and comfortable at all times, from the moment they’re anesthetized to the moment they wake up in recovery.

Focused on Comfort and Recovery

Pain management is a top priority throughout the entire surgical process. We use multimodal pain control methods—including local anesthetics, anti-inflammatories, and post-op medications—to keep your pet comfortable and encourage a smoother recovery.

After surgery, we provide clear home care instructions and remain available to answer any questions as your pet heals.
