Soft Tissue Surgery at Koala Park Veterinary Surgery, Victoria Point, QLD
At Koala Park Veterinary Surgery, we provide a wide range of Soft Tissue Surgery services to address various health issues and ensure your pet’s well-being. From routine procedures to complex surgeries, our experienced veterinary team uses advanced techniques to provide safe, effective treatment and faster recovery times.
1. Desexing
Desexing is one of the most common and important surgeries for pets, helping to prevent unwanted litters and reduce the risk of certain health issues like cancers and infections. At Koala Park, we perform safe and compassionate desexing procedures for both male and female pets. This surgery also helps reduce behavioral problems related to hormones, such as aggression and roaming.
- Benefits of Desexing: Prevents certain cancers, reduces risk of infections, and helps manage behavioral issues.
2. Skin Tumour and Lump Removals
Skin tumors and lumps can be benign or malignant, so early detection and removal are crucial. Our veterinarians are skilled in diagnosing and surgically removing abnormal growths from your pet’s skin. After removal, we can conduct pathology tests to determine if further treatment is necessary, ensuring your pet’s long-term health.
- Common Lump Types: Cysts, lipomas, mast cell tumors.
- Pathology Services: To determine the nature of the growth and guide treatment.
3. Exploratory Surgery
When non-invasive diagnostic methods aren’t enough, exploratory surgery allows us to investigate internal issues and diagnose complex conditions. This type of surgery is typically used to examine organs and tissues when symptoms are unclear, enabling our team to make informed decisions about treatment and care.
- Common Uses: To investigate internal bleeding, gastrointestinal issues, and unexplained symptoms.
- Post-Surgery Care: Comprehensive follow-up and recovery plans.
4. Foreign Body Removals
Pets, especially dogs, often swallow foreign objects that can cause serious internal blockages or injuries. Foreign body removal surgery is critical to safely extracting these objects and preventing life-threatening complications. Whether your pet has swallowed a toy, bone, or any other object, our surgical team is experienced in providing quick, effective care.
- Symptoms to Watch For: Vomiting, abdominal pain, lack of appetite, lethargy.
- Emergency Surgery: Timely intervention to prevent complications.
5. Caesarians
For pets experiencing difficulty during labor, a caesarean section (C-section) may be required to safely deliver the puppies or kittens. Our team provides expert care throughout the birthing process, ensuring the health and safety of both the mother and her offspring.
- Common Reasons for Caesarians: Dystocia (difficult labor), large litters, or certain breeds prone to complications.
- Post-Surgical Care: Monitoring both mother and newborns after surgery to ensure a smooth recovery.
