Understanding Internal Surgery

Internal surgery refers to procedures performed within your pet’s body to treat or correct conditions affecting organs such as the stomach, intestines, bladder, liver, or spleen. These surgeries are often necessary to address life-threatening illnesses, remove tumors, repair injuries, or alleviate chronic pain.

At Boerne Veterinary Clinic, our veterinary professionals use modern surgical techniques and advanced equipment to ensure your pet receives the safest, most effective care. Internal surgery can dramatically improve your pet’s quality of life, restore normal function, and, in many cases, save lives. Our team understands how stressful the prospect of surgery can be for pet owners; that’s why we take time to explain every step and ensure your pet’s comfort before, during, and after the procedure.

We’re committed to delivering compassionate, expert care, so you can feel confident your beloved companion is in skilled hands throughout their surgical journey.

What to Expect During Internal Surgery

When your pet requires internal surgery at Boerne Veterinary Clinic, you’ll experience a thorough, supportive process that prioritizes safety and communication from start to finish.

Comprehensive Pre-Surgical Assessment

Our veterinary team performs a detailed physical exam and reviews your pet’s medical history. We conduct pre-anesthetic bloodwork and imaging, such as ultrasound or radiographs, to assess organ function and minimize surgical risks.

Personalized Anesthesia and Monitoring

Each patient receives a tailored anesthesia plan, overseen by our skilled team. Throughout the procedure, we use advanced monitoring equipment to track vital signs, ensuring your pet’s comfort and safety at every stage.

Precise Surgical Technique

Our veterinarians, including Dr. Angeline Arreola and Dr. Reena Johnson, are highly experienced in a wide range of internal surgeries. We utilize modern surgical tools, such as electrocautery, to reduce bleeding and improve outcomes for your pet.

Attentive Post-Operative Care

After surgery, your pet is closely monitored as they recover. We provide comprehensive pain management, detailed home care instructions, and schedule follow-up visits to support your pet’s healing and comfort.

Why Internal Surgery is Important for Your Pet

Internal surgery can be essential for treating complex conditions that medication alone cannot resolve. Timely surgical intervention can relieve pain, restore organ function, and protect your pet’s overall well-being.

Restores Health and Comfort

Internal surgery addresses acute and chronic conditions, such as tumors, foreign body obstructions, or organ disease, allowing pets to return to a pain-free, active life.

Prevents Life-Threatening Complications

Surgical intervention can stop the progression of serious illnesses, prevent organ failure, and reduce the risk of emergency situations that could endanger your pet’s life.

Improves Long-Term Quality of Life

By correcting underlying problems, internal surgery helps pets enjoy more years of healthy companionship with their families.

Signs Your Pet May Need Internal Surgery

It’s not always obvious when a pet needs surgery. Watch for these signs and contact us promptly if you notice:

• Persistent vomiting or diarrhea
• Abdominal swelling or pain
• Difficulty urinating or defecating
• Loss of appetite or sudden weight loss
• Lethargy or unexplained weakness

If your pet exhibits any of these symptoms, call our veterinary team right away. Some conditions require immediate attention to prevent serious complications.

How Often Should Your Pet Receive Internal Surgery?

Internal surgery is not a routine procedure; it’s recommended only when medically necessary. The need for surgery depends on your pet’s specific diagnosis, age, and overall health. Our veterinarians will discuss all available options and recommend surgery only if it’s the best course of action for your pet’s well-being. Regular wellness exams and timely diagnostics can help identify issues early, reducing the need for emergency surgery. Always consult our veterinary team if you have concerns about your pet’s health or notice changes in their behavior.
