Pet Dewclaw
At Helping Hands Veterinary Surgery & Dentistry of Virginia, our experienced veterinarians perform reliable dewclaw removal procedures at affordable pricing.
Reasons for Dewclaw Removal
Dewclaw removal may be recommended for various reasons, including:
- Treating injury or trauma to the dewclaw
- Correcting abnormalities or deformities
- Preventing potential health issues, such as infections or ingrown nails
Our compassionate team assesses each case individually to determine the best course of action for your pet’s health and well-being.
About the Procedures
Loose and detached dewclaws, as well as those connected by bone, require different surgical approaches:
Dewclaw Removal – Loose and Detached
For loose and detached dewclaws, our skilled veterinarians perform a straightforward surgical procedure to remove the problematic dewclaw. This minimally invasive procedure is performed under anesthesia to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety.
Dewclaw Removal – Connected by Bone
When dewclaws are connected by bone, a more intricate surgical approach may be necessary. Our experienced team carefully evaluates each case to determine the most appropriate surgical technique, prioritizing the health and well-being of your pet.
Post-Recovery Care
Following dewclaw removal surgery, our team provides comprehensive post-operative care to ensure a smooth recovery for your pet. This may include:
- Pain management to keep your pet comfortable
- Monitoring for signs of infection or complications
- Guidance on wound care and activity restriction
Our goal is to provide your pet with the support they need to heal properly and return to their normal activities as soon as possible.
