About the Procedures
Exploratory surgery and foreign body removal procedures are performed to diagnose and treat underlying issues that may be affecting your pet’s health.
Exploratory Surgery
Exploratory surgery allows our veterinarians to visually inspect your pet’s internal organs and tissues to identify any abnormalities or sources of illness. This minimally invasive procedure is performed under anesthesia to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety.
Foreign Body Removal
Foreign body removal procedures are performed to safely extract ingested objects or materials from your pet’s digestive tract. Our skilled team utilizes advanced techniques and equipment to remove foreign bodies while minimizing the risk of complications.
