General & Advanced Surgery
At Epic Tails Veterinary Clinic, we understand that surgery can be stressful for both you and your pet. Our goal is to make your pet as comfortable as possible while easing your anxiety throughout the process. With our extensive training and experience in a wide range of surgical procedures, we’ll keep you informed every step of the way. We will closely monitor your pet before, during, and after surgery and ensure you’re well-informed about the procedure, including its risks, benefits, cost, and post-operative care.
Spay/Neuter Procedure
Spaying and neutering dogs and cats can reduce sexual behaviors, prevent unwanted behaviors, and lower the risk of infection and disease. Our veterinarians are highly trained in performing spay and neuter procedures, ensuring that your companion will be closely monitored, safe, and comfortable throughout the entire procedure and recovery process.
Neutering involves the surgical removal of the testicles, which helps reduce aggressive behavior, decreases the urge to roam, and prevents testicular cancer and prostate disease. Prior to surgery, we conduct a physical exam and blood tests to ensure your pet’s safety during the procedure. Recovery is usually straightforward, with minimal aftercare required. Timing of neuter surgeries can be an individualized decision, and our team will discuss the right timing for your pet with you.
Spaying involves the surgical removal of the ovaries and uterus to prevent heat cycles and the possibility of pregnancy. This procedure is typically performed between 4-6 months of age, ideally before the first heat cycle. However, we understand that some breeds and lifestyles may require a later spay procedure, and we can accommodate that as well. In addition to preventing heat and pregnancy, spaying eliminates the risk of uterine infections and ovarian/uterine tumors, and it can reduce the risk of malignant breast cancer by 90% if done before the first heat. We will also perform a physical exam and blood tests prior to surgery to ensure your pet’s safety during the procedure and anesthesia.
Tumors & Growths
Tumors and growths are commonly seen in older pets, but they can appear at any age. While not all tumors or lumps are cancerous, removing them can still be beneficial. Each case is carefully assessed, considering factors such as age, the potential for malignancy, size, and location when determining the best course of action. In some cases, a needle aspiration may provide an initial understanding of the mass, but more often, an excisional biopsy (mass removal) is recommended. This procedure allows the entire mass to be examined by a pathologist, ensuring that your pet’s healthcare team can make informed decisions about further care after healing.
Soft Tissue Surgery
These surgical procedures vary in complexity, from simple mass removals to surgeries involving internal organs. Most soft tissue surgeries can be performed on-site in our fully equipped surgical suite. Regardless of the procedure, we are committed to providing your pet with the highest level of care and ensuring the best possible outcome.
