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.
