Surgeries - Middle Sackville Veterinary Care Centre

At Middle Sackville Veterinary Care Centre, our veterinarians offer a wide range of surgical services, from routine procedures to more advanced surgeries. To guarantee the best possible outcomes for our patients, we occasionally refer them to board-certified veterinary surgeons for complex operations that require specialized training or advanced equipment.

Our veterinary team prioritizes safety, ensuring that your pet receives an anesthetic tailored specifically for their needs. Prior to surgery, we conduct a thorough physical examination and perform pre-anesthetic testing. Throughout the procedure, we closely monitor your pet, and we also administer pain management during the recovery process.

Specialized Surgical Treatments for Pets

Spaying for Female Pets

Spaying your female pet prevents unwanted pregnancies and contributes to a longer, healthier life.

By opting for spaying, you protect your pet from potentially serious health issues, including bacterial infections, reproductive tract diseases, and various types of cancer. Additionally, you won’t have to worry about her going into heat, and it will not alter her personality.

On the day of her surgery, your pet will arrive in the morning, with the procedure scheduled for later that morning. She will remain with us for most of the day to ensure proper monitoring and recovery. A pickup time will be arranged later, during which we will provide homecare instructions and address any questions you may have.
Neutering for Male Pets

Neutering your male pet prevents reproduction and promotes a longer, healthier life.

By choosing to neuter, you reduce or eliminate his risks of prostate and testicular cancer, as well as sexually transmitted diseases. Neutering can also help decrease undesirable behaviors such as roaming, fighting, humping, and spraying. Furthermore, it plays a vital role in controlling pet overpopulation, keeping more animals out of shelters. While it can sometimes help mitigate a dog’s urge to roam and defend territory around a female, it will not change his inherent personality.

On the day of his surgery, your pet will arrive in the morning, with the procedure scheduled for later that morning. He will stay with us for most of the day to allow for monitoring and recovery. A pickup time will be established later in the day, during which we will provide homecare instructions and answer any questions you may have.
Soft Tissue Surgeries

Soft tissue surgeries involve procedures not associated with bones, with the most common being the removal of masses or lumps. After removal and testing, most lumps are found to be benign; however, some may be more serious. If a lump is cancerous, early removal and accurate diagnosis can significantly improve the outcome. Regular veterinary visits are crucial for identifying such lumps and addressing them promptly.

For dogs with frequent ear infections, surgery can help reduce the occurrence by improving airflow into the ear canal.

Surgery can also address various eye-related issues, such as chronic infections or conditions like entropion, where the eyelashes cause damage to the cornea. Surgical intervention enhances your pet’s comfort, decreases the likelihood of corneal scarring, and improves long-term vision.
