Pet Soft Tissue Surgery in San Marcos, CA
Twin Oaks Animal Hospital provides pet soft tissue surgery and other pet surgery services in San Marcos, CA. Dr. Weinberg performs a range of veterinary surgery procedures with a focus on your pet’s safety and comfort.
What Is Pet Soft Tissue Surgery?
Soft tissue surgery covers procedures involving organs, skin, and other tissue outside the bones and joints. Procedures involving bones and joints instead fall under our Pet Orthopedic Surgery services. At our hospital, soft tissue surgery includes mass removals, abdominal exploratory surgery, and bladder stone removal.
For more complex procedures, we work with you to find a specialist at a trusted referral center. Our goal is always to make sure your pet gets the right level of care for their situation.
What to Expect Before, During, and After Surgery
Every surgical patient starts with a hands-on exam from the doctor. If we haven’t already run pet laboratory testing to check kidney and liver function, we’ll do so beforehand. IV fluids run throughout the procedure and into recovery, helping keep blood pressure steady the whole time. Pain control starts with injectable medication before surgery, then shifts to oral pain relievers once your pet is ready.
We keep a close eye on heart rate, temperature, and oxygen levels for the duration of the surgery. A member of our staff sits with your pet in recovery until they’re alert and steady. Most patients head home the same afternoon, once they’ve recovered enough to travel comfortably. You’ll leave with pain medication and any other supplies your pet needs for a comfortable recovery.
For pets who need closer overnight observation, we’ll arrange a transfer to a nearby emergency hospital. In these cases, safety and comfort remain our top priority.
Why Timely Surgical Care Matters
Surgery can feel overwhelming, but careful preparation and monitoring help keep the process as safe as possible. Conditions like bladder stones or abdominal masses can become more serious without timely surgical treatment. Some soft tissue issues arise unexpectedly and may start as a visit for Pet Urgent & Emergency Care. Delaying a needed procedure can sometimes turn a manageable issue into a more complicated one.
Careful, Attentive Surgical Care
Dr. Weinberg brings years of surgical experience to procedures ranging from routine mass removals to more involved abdominal surgery. Our team follows the same safety protocols across every procedure for your pet’s care.
