Lacerations and wounds: Repairing cuts or wounds caused by trauma or accidents.

Bladder and gastrointestinal surgery: Addressing issues like urinary blockages, gastrointestinal obstructions, or other internal conditions.

Dental health is an important part of your cat’s overall well-being. We perform dental surgeries to address issues such as tooth extractions, gum disease, and other oral health problems, which can be painful and affect your cat’s quality of life.

6. Diagnostic Surgery

In some cases, surgery is necessary to diagnose certain conditions, such as biopsies or exploratory surgeries to investigate internal problems like organ diseases, tumors, or chronic pain that requires surgical evaluation.

Why Surgery is Necessary for Your Cat

Surgery can be necessary for a variety of reasons, ranging from preventive procedures to emergency care. Some conditions may not respond to medication alone, and surgery may be the most effective solution for treating the issue and ensuring your cat’s long-term health. Common reasons cats may require surgery include:

Accidents or trauma: Fractures, wounds, or other injuries caused by accidents.
Health problems: Conditions such as tumors, infections, or heart issues that require surgical intervention.
Reproductive health: Spaying or neutering to prevent unwanted pregnancies and certain health conditions.

What to Expect During Your Cat’s Surgery at VetQueens Animal Hospital

Pre-Surgical Assessment

Before any surgery, your cat will undergo a thorough pre-surgical examination. This includes blood tests to ensure your cat is in good health and ready for anesthesia. We will discuss the procedure with you in detail, answer your questions, and provide instructions for preparing your cat for surgery.

Surgical Procedure

Your cat will be given a general anesthesia to ensure they are completely relaxed and unaware during the procedure.
We use advanced surgical equipment and sterile techniques to minimize the risk of infection and complications.
Our skilled veterinarians will perform the surgery as efficiently as possible, keeping your cat’s comfort and safety as a priority.

Post-Surgical Care

After surgery, your cat will be monitored closely as they wake up from anesthesia. Our team will ensure they are comfortable and provide any necessary pain relief. We will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including:

Pain management to ensure a smooth recovery
Post-surgical check-ups to monitor healing and ensure no complications arise
Diet and activity restrictions to promote healing

How to Care for Your Cat After Surgery

Proper aftercare is crucial to your cat’s recovery. Here are a few important guidelines to follow:

Rest: Limit physical activity, especially jumping or running, for a few days post-surgery.
Monitor the incision site: Keep an eye out for any signs of infection, such as swelling, redness, or discharge.
Dietary changes: Follow any dietary restrictions or changes recommended by your vet.
