When your pet needs surgical care, you want to know they’re in skilled, compassionate hands.

Whether it’s an urgent procedure or a planned operation, our experienced veterinary team is committed to providing the highest level of care before, during, and after surgery.

What Is Soft Tissue Surgery?

Soft tissue surgery refers to any veterinary surgical procedure that does not involve bones or joints. It encompasses a broad range of treatments for both preventative and medically necessary conditions. Common examples include:

Mass or Tumor Removal

Surgical removal of abnormal growths helps diagnose potential cancer and prevent the mass from affecting your pet’s health or comfort. Early intervention is key for the best outcomes.

Wound Repair

We treat lacerations, punctures, and other traumatic injuries with precise surgical techniques to promote healing, prevent infection, and restore your pet’s comfort and mobility.

Foreign Object Removal

If your pet has swallowed something they shouldn’t have, surgical removal may be necessary to prevent serious damage to the digestive tract and other internal organs.

Spay and Neuter Procedures

Our routine spay and neuter surgeries help prevent unwanted litters and reduce the risk of certain health and behavioral issues. Learn More

Bladder Stone Removal

Bladder stones can cause pain, urinary issues, and blockages. Surgical removal provides relief and helps restore normal bladder function.

Gastrointestinal Surgery

We perform GI surgeries to address obstructions, torsions, or other digestive system issues, helping your pet regain healthy digestion and comfort.

Hernia repair

Hernias can allow internal organs to shift abnormally. We surgically correct hernias to restore normal anatomy and prevent further complications.

These surgeries are essential in diagnosing and treating internal issues, addressing injuries, or removing growths that could be harmful to your pet’s health. If your pet requires orthopedic surgery instead, we invite you to visit our dedicated page.

Our Surgical Approach

At Florence Veterinary Hospital, we take a comprehensive and caring approach to every surgery we perform. Our team follows strict safety protocols and uses advanced surgical techniques to ensure optimal outcomes.

From pre-operative bloodwork and monitoring to post-operative pain management and recovery care, your pet’s comfort and safety are our top priorities. We also utilize state-of-the-art anesthesia and monitoring equipment to closely track your pet’s vital signs throughout the procedure.

Why Soft Tissue Surgery Matters for Your Pet

Delaying or avoiding necessary surgery can lead to more serious complications down the line. Many soft tissue conditions — like internal tumors, infected wounds, or gastrointestinal blockages—can worsen quickly without proper surgical intervention.

Timely surgery not only addresses your pet’s current discomfort but also prevents further health risks. In many cases, surgical treatment can extend your pet’s life and dramatically improve their quality of life.

Don’t wait if your pet has been diagnosed with a condition that may require soft tissue surgery or if you’ve noticed unusual lumps, wounds, or behavioral changes.
