At Buckeystown Veterinary Hospital, we provide skilled surgical care backed by decades of experience and a commitment to your pet’s safety and comfort. From routine procedures like spays and neuters to advanced orthopedic and soft-tissue surgeries, our team uses modern techniques, thorough pre-op screening, and attentive post-op monitoring to ensure a smooth, successful outcome. We know surgery can be stressful, which is why we prioritize clear communication, transparency, and compassionate care, so you can feel confident that your pet is in capable hands.
Spaying and neutering not only help reduce unplanned litters, they can also lower the risk of certain cancers and reduce behavior concerns. Our experienced Buckeystown veterinarians perform these procedures with great care, and we’re happy to walk you through the timing and benefits for your pet.
From lump removals to foreign body retrievals, we perform a wide range of soft tissue surgeries, including bladder stone removal (cystotomy), intestinal biopsies, ear hematoma repairs, nasal surgeries, and much more.
Orthopedic conditions can greatly impact your pet’s quality of life, but surgery can restore mobility and comfort. By teaming up with an orthopedic specialist, we’re able to offer cranial cruicate ligament repairs, femoral head ostectomy (FHO), patellar luxation repair, fracture repairs, and amputations.
We’ll provide clear instructions beforehand, but generally, you’ll need to withhold food after midnight and arrive on time the morning of surgery. We’ll answer all your questions at your pet’s pre-op appointment.
Pain management is a top priority. We use multimodal pain relief strategies, including injectable medications and take-home prescriptions, to keep your pet comfortable throughout recovery.
Not always. We’ll evaluate your pet thoroughly and explore alternatives like rest, weight management, or acupuncture when appropriate. But in some cases, surgery offers the best long-term outcome.
Most pets go home the same day, but if your pet requires an overnight stay, we’ll keep you updated and can often arrange visits if needed for longer recoveries.
That depends on the surgery. Routine procedures may only require 10–14 days of limited activity. Orthopedic surgeries involve longer, structured recoveries, but we’ll provide a timeline and help you manage each stage at home.
