Soft Tissue Surgery

Ross Hospital for Animals can perform many types of soft tissue surgeries. Examples of soft tissue surgery include surgeries of the eyes and ears, laceration repair, bladder stone removal, growth removal, and anal gland removal just to name a few.

Performed with your pet under anesthesia, we follow strict protocols and continuous monitoring of your pet’s vital signs to help ensure her safety.

Feline Declaw Laser Surgery

At Ross Hospital for Animals, we use a surgical laser to perform the onychectomy (declaw) surgery. We recommend declawing after all other attempts to train your cat have failed. Surgical laser offers the safest, least painful method of declawing available today. Laser surgery eliminates any painful regrowth of nail tissue because the entire claw and attached, non-weight-bearing bones are surgically removed. Your cat can quickly return to normal activity, usually within one to three weeks following surgery. The laser makes this surgery virtually bloodless and painless.

Performed with your pet under anesthesia, we follow strict protocols and continuous monitoring of your pet’s vital signs to help ensure her safety.

Neutering & Spaying

Ross Hospital for Animals recommends spaying or neutering your pet during their first year, typically between 6 and 8 months of age. Recent studies indicate there may be some benefit in delaying in certain breeds. By spaying or neutering your pet, you’re protecting against potentially deadly diseases.

Orthopaedic Surgery

We perform many types of orthopaedic (bone) surgeries in our clinic. Because we want to ensure that our patients receive the best possible outcome, we occasionally refer them to board-certified orthopaedic surgeons to perform back surgery and other very complex surgeries.

Leg fractures are the most common orthopaedic problem presented at our clinic and usually result from a mishap with an automobile. They can be treated in a variety of ways depending on the location and type of fracture. We can apply a cast to treat certain fractures; however, many fractures will require surgical intervention:

  • “Pinning” stabilizes the fracture by inserting a long stainless steel rod into the middle of the bone across the fractured area.
  • “Plating” involves attaching a flat stainless steel plate to the bone using screws on either side of the fracture.
  • “External fixation” stabilizes fractures using a series of pins on the outside of the leg that pass through the skin and into the bone on either side of the fracture.

We also perform a lot of orthopaedic surgeries related to hip dysplasia and disc disease. Please contact us if you have any questions about these procedures or if you think your pet might benefit from them.
