Surgery

Veterinary surgery at Haabersti Loomakliinik

No one is immune to injuries and serious illnesses, and pets are no exception. Sometimes, to save a pet’s life, animal surgery is necessary. Veterinary surgery can also be planned, such as castration and sterilization. Such procedures are only performed by a professional surgical veterinarian with a high level of expertise and relevant experience. A vet surgery is a place where the skills and experience of a veterinarian are put to use. These specialists play a vital role in ensuring the health and recovery of pets that require surgical care. Cat surgery requires the expertise of a skilled veterinary surgeon. Our specialists at Haabersti Loomakliinik in Tallinn perform these operations. However, the recovery time after a dog surgery takes a little bit more time because small animals like cats tend to recover more quickly from spaying or neutering procedures, while dogs may have longer recovery times, especially larger breeds.

Types of surgical interventions in veterinary medicine

In vet medicine, there are several types of surgical operations for animals:

• Depending on the nature of the procedure, it might be bloodless (minimally invasive, almost without incisions) or traditional.
• Depending on the purpose of the operation, it may be diagnostic or therapeutic, and a separate group consists of procedures in order to regulate reproductive behavior.
• Depending on the timing, surgical operations might be emergency or planned. There are also cases of forced or delayed intervention.
• Depending on the degree of impact, surgeries can be palliative or radical (completely eliminating the causes of the disease).

Timely surgery for animals helps avoid fatal outcomes, eliminate unpleasant symptoms, prolong life, and improve its quality. The most challenging situations are when a veterinary surgeon must execute emergency interventions. Emergency surgery is necessary in cases of severe internal bleeding, intestinal blockage, or the ingestion of sharp objects into the digestive tract.

There are cases when it needs to be completed as a planned procedure, especially for severe and rapidly progressing diseases such as oncology.
