Reasons for Veterinary Surgery
Depending on your pet's medical concerns, surgery may be the best course of action to keep them healthy. There are a variety of reasons why your pet may need surgery, such as:
Blockages: If your pet swallows something that they shouldn't and develops a blockage, they may require surgery to remove it.
Cancer: While not necessary for all types of cancer, surgery may be beneficial for the removal of some or all of your pet's cancerous tumors.
Injuries: If your pet breaks a bone or has a serious wound, they may require surgery for reconstruction or repair.
Here at Nashville Veterinary Specialists - Clarksville, we have a skilled surgical team, advanced tools and technologies, and two fully equipped surgical suites to assist your pet with any surgical needs they may have.
