Desexing for Female Animals

Desexing your pet has many benefits. The procedure prevents female animals from becoming pregnant and reproducing and can help your dog or cat live a longer, healthier life. Desexing will not change your pet's personality.

By desexing your female pet, you're protecting her against potentially deadly diseases, including bacterial infections, reproductive tract diseases, and several types of cancer. You also won't have to worry about her going into heat. This means avoiding the mess that often accompanies the heat cycle in female dogs and the pacing and crying that happens with female cats. In addition, desexing your pet will help control the dog and cat overpopulation problem, keeping more animals out of shelters.

Desexing, which involves removing the ovaries and uterus, is a surgical procedure and does need to be performed with the pet under anaesthesia. We follow strict protocols and continually monitor your pet's vital signs to help ensure her safety. Please see the descriptions under Anaesthesia and Patient Monitoring for more information on what we do to keep your pet safe.

Soft Tissue Surgery

We perform many types of soft tissue surgeries at our clinic. Soft tissue surgeries are those that are not associated with bone. These surgeries can provide many benefits to pets.

Probably the most common soft tissue surgery performed on pets is the removal of masses or lumps. Once removed and tested, most of these masses are found to be benign (nonharmful); however, they are occasionally more serious. Early removal and accurate lump diagnosis are necessary to improve the outcome in your pet if the mass is cancerous.

If your dog suffers from frequent ear infections, surgical intervention can reduce their occurrence by improving airflow into the ear canal.

The Benefits of Eye-Related Soft Tissue Surgery

Surgery can also help resolve several problems related to the eyes. Tearing in your pet's eyes can mean an infection is present or may be a sign that the cornea (outer layer of the eye) has been damaged. Surgery may allow the cornea to heal faster with less scarring, improving your pet's ability to see. In some pets, the eyelashes may damage the cornea. Surgical intervention improves comfort in these pets, reduces the chances of corneal scarring, and enhances the pet's vision in the long term.

Please contact us if you'd like to discuss how soft tissue surgery might be able to help your pet.
