Surgical Options for Cats at Riverbend Veterinary PetCare Hospital
We provide a range of surgical services for cats, tailored to treat various health issues. Below are some of the most common procedures we perform:
- Spaying and neutering: These help prevent unwanted litters, reduce certain health risks, and support your cat’s overall well-being.
- Soft Tissue Surgery: This includes procedures for gastrointestinal issues, bladder stones, wound repairs, eye surgeries and mass removals.
- Cancer Surgery (Oncology): Part or all of the therapy for certain tumors includes surgical removal of the growth. We are adept at removing many different types of tumors. We can also refer our patients to local specialists or to our sister clinic TotalBond Veterinary Hospital Forestbrook in Gastonia. Drs. Mark Epstein and Sara Toner are general practitioners with a special interest in managing treatment for cancer patients.
- Gastrointestinal Surgery: If your cat is experiencing digestive problems, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain, surgery may be necessary to alleviate these symptoms.
- Foreign Body Removal: Cats are known to swallow objects they shouldn’t. If your cat ingests a hazardous item, we perform foreign body removal to ensure your cat stays healthy and safe.
When Surgery Becomes Necessary for Your Cat
Surgery is sometimes the best way to address serious health concerns in cats. Whether your cat is suffering from a painful injury, an internal condition, or a growth that requires removal, we work closely with you to determine the best treatment plan. Our goal is to ensure your cat’s health and your peace of mind throughout the process.
What to Expect Before, During, and After Your Cat’s Surgery
Before Surgery
Our team will perform a thorough assessment of your cat’s health to ensure they are fit for surgery. We will discuss anesthesia options, potential risks, and how we closely monitor your cat's vital signs throughout the procedure to keep them safe and comfortable. We also send your pet home with some medications to take the day of their surgery to help reduce their stress level and decrease any nausea they may feel from the anesthesia.
During Surgery
Your cat will be under anesthesia throughout the surgery, and our surgical team will closely monitor their vital signs to ensure they remain comfortable and stable during the procedure.
After Surgery
Once the surgery is complete, we will provide detailed instructions on caring for your cat during their recovery, including expected timelines and signs of potential complications. We will also advise you on managing pain, monitoring the surgical site, and limiting activity to support healing, so you feel confident in your pet's recovery process.
The Need for Post-Surgery Recovery
The recovery period is just as important as the surgery itself. We will provide you with detailed at-home care instructions to help ensure a smooth recovery. From monitoring the incision site to administering medications, we are here to guide you and answer any questions you have about the healing process.
