Surgery

We hope your pet never needs surgery.  However, if the need arises, you should know that Newberry Animal Hospital Group is committed to the best possible care for your pet.  We are an intermediate veterinary care group.  This means that our doctors dedicate their ongoing education to the latest in specialty/advanced surgical (as well as minimally invasive) techniques and methods.  Routine surgeries can be anything from a dental procedure to amputations, to a spay or neuter.  Please let us know if we can help!

Cystotomy

This is the surgical procedure used to open a pet's urinary bladder.

Pets that may have bladder stones often present with difficult or painful urination, blood in the urine, or just can't urinate.

Exploratory

This is a surgical procedure used to investigate and diagnose a medical condition. Also referred to as: X-Laps, Exploratory Laparotomy

Often, this type of surgery is the only option if a traditional method of detection (such as x-ray or ultrasound) does not explain your pet’s condition. An Exploratory surgery can not only reveal the cause, but would provide the opportunity to correct it. Even though we believe surgery should be the last option for a diagnosis, we are fully committed to performing a minimally-invasive surgery technique, whenever possible, to help make the post procedural recovery quick, and as pain free as possible.

Accidental Ingestion

This is a protocol where various efforts are made to expel or remove poisons.

Whether your dog or cat ingested inappropriate food items, human or animal medications, chemicals or some other toxic substances, our professional staff is trained to identify and address the impact of this toxin on your pet. Often, pets present symptoms such as vomiting, lethargy, bruising, or are pale in color.

Bloat

AKA GVD, Gastric Dilitation, or Gastric Vulvulous

This is a condition of extreme distention of the stomach which may be twisted on itself. This is life-threatening… and generally requires surgery. Pets may present with a swollen abdomen, distended abdomen, or big belly.

Fractures/Broken Bones

Surgical treatment for fractures or broken bones vary.

We often both non-invasive and surgical options for these types of injuries. Pets often present with symptoms such as limping, painful movement, and just not bearing weight on a limb.

Amputation

This is a procedure that involves removing a damaged or diseased limb.

An amputation is normally performed under general anesthesia, with the surgery site shaved and cleaned, followed by pain management and post-operative care to ensure a smooth recovery.

Splenectomy

This is the surgical removal of a pet's spleen.

When there is a growth/mass/tumor in the spleen, it often requires its removal. Pets that are brought in with spleen issues often present with extreme lethargy, and/or paleness in color.

C-Section

This is a procedure where puppies or kittens are surgically removed from the uterus through an incision in the abdomen. AKA Caesarian

When female cats or dogs have difficulty birthing, or straining to give birth, we offer this emergency surgical option. We are a phone call away if you have a dog or cat in labor

Pyometra

This is a procedure where the infected uterus is removed to prevent sepsis or death. AKA Ovariohysterectomy

This is a uterine infection in the intact/non-spayed female dogs or cats. We recommend early spay/neuter to best avoid this condition. Pets present extremely sick, with symptoms such as vaginal drainage or vaginal pus. The causes are generally attributed to hormonal influences in older females. We routinely perform emergency pyos with excellent results and quick recoveries.

Traumatic Injuries

Trauma treatment varies greatly, but our focus is to first address life-threatening conditions.

Was your pet hit by a car, golf cart or maybe attacked by dogs, or in a dog fight? Our team manages these emergencies on a regular basis. We accept emergencies during working hours without an appointment (walk-ins). We are happy to ‘triage’ your emergency and make sure your injured pet family member receives the best care available.

Urinary Obstruction

AKA PU Surgery, Perineal Urethrostomy

Both Cats and Dogs can get a urinary obstruction, or urinary blockage, from stones or inflammatory debris.
