At Acadia Veterinary Clinic, we offer a wide variety of general and orthopedic surgeries including femoral head ostectomy (FHO), intestinal surgery, and lump removal, all performed by our skilled veterinarians.
FHO surgery for Los Altos pets is considered to be a salvage procedure for animals with chronic hip dysplasia, trauma, or extreme arthritis. The surgery removes the head of the femur and allows scar tissue to create a false joint.
For animals suffering from bowel obstruction or infection, intestinal surgery for Loyola pets may be necessary. Obstructions may be removed and the intestinal walls repaired, or the intestines may need to be resectioned. Digital x-rays and/or ultrasound may be needed prior to surgery so that we can determine the least invasive surgical option, and recovery will be carefully monitored post-surgery.
As pets age, lumps and masses can become a common occurrence. However, depending on the size, location, and biopsy results, our veterinarians will perform lump removal for affected Cupertino patients in order to ensure long-term comfort and health.
If you think your pet is in need of any of our general or orthopedic surgery procedures, schedule a consultation and help your pet get the care they need!
