Surgery can be a delicate subject for pet owners, as they don't always know what to expect. If your pet requires surgery, we want you to have every confidence that he will receive competent care. At Animal Health Services, we offer safe and affordable elective and emergency pet surgery services to pet owners in and around Columbus, MS. Through our surgical procedures and other pet care services, we strive to help our pet patients live long, healthy lives. Our veterinarian offers the following surgical treatments for your furry friend.

Common Surgical Procedures

• Abdominal Surgery – Pets are notorious for ingesting objects they shouldn’t, which may require surgery to have these objects removed. Abdominal surgery may also be done to treat gastrointestinal problems.
• Dental Surgery – Irreparable tooth damage due to trauma, decay, or periodontal disease may require dental surgery to have the tooth extracted to restore your pet’s oral health.
• Orthopedic Surgery – As pets age, they may develop problems with their muscles, joints, ligaments, or tendons that restrict their movements. Orthopedic surgery corrects these problems to improve your pet’s mobility.
• Soft Tissue Repair – We offer soft tissue surgery to repair open wounds from accidents, animal fights, or other emergency situations.
• Spay and Neuter Surgery – If you're not breeding your pet, we recommend having your furry friend spayed or neutered to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Spay and neuter procedures also protect pets from reproductive infections and diseases that can shorten their lifespan.
• Tumor Removal – Sometimes dogs and cats develop tumors on their skin, which may be cancerous or benign. We can remove these tumors through outpatient surgery to avoid the risk of more serious health issues.

Anesthesia for Pet Surgery

Pet surgery is performed under anesthesia to ensure your pet suffers no pain or discomfort during his procedure. Anesthesia also keeps your pet still so we can complete his treatment without endangering our team or your pet. We perform pre-anesthetic blood tests before our surgical treatments to ensure your pet is healthy enough for the use of anesthesia. If your pet has liver, kidney, or other organ issues, these problems will need to be taken care of before his surgery.
