3 Reasons Your Pet May Need Surgery

Cats and dogs alike instinctually hide illnesses and injuries. As such, it can be challenging to know whether your pet requires emergency surgery. That’s why we recommend you bring your pet in to be seen by our team as soon as possible if they have any concerning symptoms. By using technology like x-ray imaging, we can pinpoint the origin of your pet’s discomfort and move forward with a surgical plan that helps improve their quality of life.

Some of the reasons your pet may require cat or dog emergency surgery services include:

Trauma:

Whether your pet was attacked by another animal or fell and hurt one of their limbs, it may be crucial that they receive emergency surgery. Through our services we'll help relieve their pain and avoid potential complications like tissue improperly healing.

Pregnancy:

For many pregnant cats and dogs, delivering naturally can jeopardize the health of the mother and her babies. Our veterinary team is here to perform emergency cesarean sections and keep momma and her babies healthy.

Sterilization:

At our vet hospital, we regularly perform emergency neutering and spaying services. Although most spays and neuters are scheduled months in advance and are routine in nature, emergency sterilization may be necessary to protect your pet's health.

Our Emergency Surgery Process

At Wheaton Way Vet Hospital, we’ve spent considerable time and effort to improve our emergency vet surgery services. We encourage you to call ahead to schedule an appointment for your pet. Letting our team know ahead of time helps us better prepare for your pet’s arrival and can reduce your pet’s overall time at our practice.

No matter what the nature of your pet’s emergency may be, our team will advise you on how to care for them until their appointment. For example, we may recommend that you withhold feeding your pet. Another example would be keeping your pet’s wound clean and dry. It’s important to note that if your pet’s situation is potentially life-threatening, we may recommend that you visit a pet emergency hospital.

Emergency Vet Surgery FAQs

It’s normal to have various questions about our Bremerton cat and dog emergency surgery services. That’s why our compassionate and knowledgeable staff is here to answer any that you may have. Some of the most frequently asked questions about our emergency veterinary surgery services include:

Will you anesthetize my pet during surgery?

Yes. Many of our emergency veterinary surgery services require anesthesia. You can rest assured that our experienced team follows strict safety standards to facilitate smooth surgical procedures.

Can I be with my pet during their surgery?

Unfortunately, no. We respectfully ask that pet owners remain in the waiting area during their pet’s procedure.

Does my pet need to be a patient of record to receive surgical services?

Not at all. Our emergency veterinary surgical services are open to current and new patients alike. We recommend contacting our office as soon as possible, regardless of whether your pet is a patient of record.

How long will it take for my pet to recover from their surgery?

It all depends on the nature of their surgery. For example, spaying can take anywhere from 10-14 days for your pet to recover. Other procedures, however, may take less or more time to recover from. Our veterinarian will provide you with a recovery timeline so that you know what to expect.
