We perform many types of soft tissue surgeries at our hospital. Soft tissue surgeries are those that are not associated with bones. These surgeries can provide many benefits to pets and help them to lead a long and happy life with you.
Our skilled veterinarians all perform surgery on dogs, cats, and exotic pets. These procedures range from spaying and neutering, to mass removals and more extensive procedures.
Don’t forget – cats and dogs should not have food or water after midnight. All other types of pets should be fed normally prior to their procedure. If you have questions prior to your pet’s procedure, please reach out to us at 610-687-1550.
Orthopedic Surgery
Joint problems or injuries may necessitate orthopedic surgery at some point. Degenerative conditions, traumatic accidents and even congenital or breed-related chronic issues may all call for the services of our skilled veterinarians with experience in pet orthopedic surgery.
Pet orthopedic surgery aims to repair or modify problems in an animal’s joints or bones. These problems may either acute emergencies or slow-growing conditions that have steadily become more painful and disabling over a period of years. A fractured leg or joint damage sustained in an auto accident is a prime example of the former, while a degenerative joint condition such as osteoarthritis is a common occurrence of the latter type. If your pet is limping, refusing to run or jump or having trouble standing up, going up stairs, or lying down, he may have an orthopedic problem that requires surgical attention. If he has been in an accident, treat the situation as an emergency and bring him to Radnor Veterinary Hospital immediately.
We will explain how to prepare your pet for the day of their surgery, what you can expect immediately following the procedure, how to administer any necessary post-operative medications, as well as how to recognize any problems that might signal the need for follow-up care.
As a reminder – cats and dogs should not have food or water after midnight. All other types of pets should be fed normally prior to their procedure. If you have questions prior to your pet’s procedure, please reach out to us at 610-687-1550.
Please contact us if you’d like to discuss concerns about your pet’s health and if surgical intervention is potentially necessary.
