Safe, Skilled Surgical Removal of the Spleen
If your veterinarian has recommended a splenectomy for your dog or cat, you’re likely feeling anxious and full of questions.
Whether it’s part of a planned care strategy or an emergency abdominal surgery, our experienced team is here for you and your pet every step of the way.
Why Might a Pet Need a Splenectomy?
The spleen helps filter blood and fight infection, but in some cases, it may become diseased or compromised. A splenectomy for dogs and cats may be required to treat:
- Ruptured or bleeding spleen
- Splenic tumours or masses
- Immune-mediated diseases
- Blood clotting disorders
- Severe abdominal trauma
Removing the spleen is often the best way to eliminate the immediate risk and give your pet a better quality of life in the future.
