Comprehensive Surgical Services for Pets

Our veterinary team offers a variety of surgical procedures to support your pet’s health and well-being. With a focus on safety, precision, and compassionate care, we ensure that every surgery is performed using the latest techniques and tailored to your pet’s needs. Below are some of the key surgical services available.

Comprehensive Surgical Services for Pets

Spay and Neuter Surgery

Spaying and neutering are among the most common surgeries performed at Okie Paws Veterinary Clinic. These procedures offer significant health and behavioral benefits for your pet:

Health Benefits

Spaying and neutering help prevent serious reproductive health issues, such as uterine infections, mammary tumors, and testicular cancer. These procedures also contribute to a longer, healthier life by reducing the risk of life-threatening conditions.

Behavioral Benefits

Neutered males tend to have reduced roaming, territorial marking, and aggressive behaviors, while spayed females no longer experience the stress of heat cycles. These changes help pets become more manageable and create a safer, more stable environment.

Community Benefits

Spaying and neutering help control pet overpopulation, reducing the number of unwanted litters and decreasing the number of animals in shelters.

This routine surgery is performed under general anesthesia and is typically completed within an hour. Our team provides pre-surgical evaluations, advanced anesthesia monitoring, and pain management for a safe procedure. After surgery, pets require limited activity, incision monitoring, and proper medication administration to ensure a smooth recovery. Most pets return to normal within a week, promoting a healthier, happier life.

Soft Tissue Surgery

Soft tissue surgeries treat various medical conditions that impact a pet’s health, comfort, and mobility. These procedures may be elective (planned) or urgent (life-saving interventions), helping pets recover from injuries, infections, or internal complications.

Common Soft Tissue Procedures

Tumor & Mass Removals

Suspicious lumps or growths can be surgically removed, with biopsies performed to determine if further treatment is needed.

Wound & Abscess Treatment

Deep wounds and infections may require surgical cleaning, suturing, and drainage to promote healing.

Bladder Stone Removal

Some pets develop painful urinary blockages that require surgery to remove stones when dietary changes are ineffective.

Gastrointestinal (GI) Surgery

Conditions such as intestinal blockages, stomach tumors, or bowel obstructions often require urgent surgical intervention to restore digestive function.

Soft tissue surgeries help prevent infections, relieve pain, and restore normal body functions. Most pets recover within 1-2 weeks with proper post-surgical care, including restricted activity, medication, and monitoring for complications.

Dental Extractions for Dogs & Cats

Severe dental disease, broken teeth, and oral infections can cause pain and health complications for pets. If left untreated, infections may spread to vital organs, such as the heart, kidneys, and liver.

Signs Your Pet May Need a Dental Extraction

Bad breath (halitosis)

Difficulty eating or chewing

Red, swollen, or bleeding gums

Loose or broken teeth

Excessive drooling

The Extraction Procedure

Dental X-rays and an oral exam help determine which teeth need removal.

Pets are placed under general anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience.

Damaged, loose, or infected teeth are carefully extracted.

The mouth is cleaned, treated, and sutured if necessary.

Post-op care and pain management are provided for a comfortable recovery.

Routine dental care prevents infections, improves comfort, and enhances overall health. After extractions, pets recover quickly and can eat normally again. To avoid future dental issues, schedule regular cleanings and practice at-home dental hygiene.

Foreign Body Removal Surgery

Pets, especially young dogs and cats, often swallow objects that can become lodged in the stomach or intestines, leading to dangerous blockages. If left untreated, these obstructions can be life-threatening and require emergency surgery.

Common Objects Pets Swallow

Toys, bones, and small household items

String, yarn, or thread (especially in cats)

Socks, underwear, and fabric

Corn cobs, rocks, and sticks

Signs of a Foreign Object Blockage

Vomiting or gagging

Loss of appetite

Lethargy or restlessness

Abdominal bloating or discomfort

Straining to defecate or bloody stools

If you suspect your pet has swallowed something dangerous, immediate veterinary care is necessary. Our team performs emergency foreign body removal surgery to safely extract the object and prevent life-threatening complications.

What to Expect from Your Pet’s Surgery

At Okie Paws Veterinary Clinic, we recognize that surgery can be a stressful experience for pet owners. Our goal is to ensure a smooth, safe, and comfortable process from start to finish. We take every precaution to minimize risks, manage pain, and help your pet recover quickly.

Signs Your Pet May Need a Dental Extraction

Pre-Surgical Examination

A thorough health assessment is conducted before surgery to ensure your pet is fit for anesthesia. This includes a physical examination, bloodwork, and diagnostic imaging (X-rays or ultrasound if needed) to identify any potential risks. These precautions help us tailor anesthesia protocols and ensure the safest possible procedure.

Anesthesia & Pain Management

We use individualized anesthesia plans based on your pet’s age, weight, and medical history. Throughout the procedure, we continuously monitor vital signs (heart rate, oxygen levels, blood pressure, and temperature) to maintain stability. A multi-modal pain management approach is used, including pre-surgical pain relief, local anesthesia, and post-op pain medication to ensure comfort during recovery.

Post-Surgery Care & Recovery

After surgery, pets are monitored in a quiet, temperature-controlled recovery area until they wake up safely. Before discharge, pet owners receive detailed home care instructions, including:

Activity restrictions (limiting jumping and running for 7-14 days)

Medication schedules for pain relief and antibiotics

Incision care (keeping the site clean, monitoring for swelling, and preventing licking with an E-collar)

Feeding guidelines (offering small amounts of bland food if nausea occurs)

Signs of complications (such as vomiting, lethargy, or excessive bleeding)

Follow-Up Care

A post-surgical check-up within 7-10 days ensures proper healing and, if necessary, suture removal. Most pets recover within 10-14 days, though some procedures require extended rest. Okie Paws Veterinary Clinic prioritizes safety, pain management, and a smooth recovery, ensuring the best possible outcome for your pet.
