Transitioning from discussing Enucleation, our veterinary clinic also offers Perineal Urethrostomy (PU) as part of our advanced surgical services. This procedure is often recommended for male cats with recurring urinary blockages or conditions related to feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD).

During a PU, the narrow portion of the urethra is surgically removed and the wider end is rerouted to create a new opening, allowing for easier urination and reducing the risk of blockages.

Pyometra

Pyometra is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that affects unspayed female dogs. It occurs when the uterus becomes infected and filled with pus, leading to symptoms such as lethargy, excessive thirst, vomiting, and a swollen abdomen.

Prompt veterinary intervention is crucial to treat pyometra, typically involving emergency surgery to remove the infected uterus and ovaries.

During this exam, our veterinarians will conduct a physical examination, evaluate your pet’s behavior and habits, and discuss any concerns you may have about your pet’s well-being.

We believe that routine annual exams are essential in maintaining your pet’s long-term health and happiness. Regular check-ups allow us to detect early signs of illness or conditions that could affect your furry friend’s quality of life.

Required PreAnesthetic Bloodwork

Transitioning from the annual exam, it is crucial to emphasize the significance of necessary preanesthetic bloodwork before any surgical procedure. This essential step ensures that your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia and surgery.

The bloodwork helps us assess kidney and liver function, check red and white blood cell counts, and detects any underlying health issues that may affect the safety of the anesthetic process.

Spay and Neuter

Spaying and neutering your pets is a crucial part of responsible pet ownership. These routine surgical procedures can prevent health issues, reduce behavior problems, and help control the pet population.
