Types of Veterinary Surgeries We Offer

Our Stockton hospital is equipped to handle a wide variety of surgical procedures, and we tailor every treatment plan to your pet’s individual needs. Here are some of the core surgical services we provide:

  • Spaying: this common procedure helps prevent unwanted litters and reduces the risk of certain cancers and infections in female pets
  • Neutering: neutering male pets can curb behavioral issues and lower the chance of prostate problems and testicular cancer
  • Orthopedic surgery: we perform procedures like TPLO repairs and fracture stabilization to restore mobility and comfort
  • Soft tissue surgery: from mass removals to bladder stone extractions, soft tissue procedures address a broad range of internal and external conditions
  • Cryosurgery: this minimally invasive technique uses extreme cold to treat skin growths and small tumors with less discomfort and faster healing

No matter which procedure your pet needs, we use the latest techniques and equipment to promote the safest outcomes possible.

How We Keep Your Pet Safe During Surgery

Your pet’s safety is always our top priority. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, modern anesthesia protocols and monitoring equipment have made veterinary surgery safer than ever before. We take that responsibility seriously by combining advanced anesthesia options with continuous patient monitoring throughout every procedure.

Pre-Surgical Assessments

Before any surgery, we perform a thorough physical examination and may recommend bloodwork or diagnostic imaging to identify any underlying health concerns. This helps us choose the safest anesthetic protocol for your pet’s age, breed, and overall condition.

During the Procedure

A dedicated team member monitors your pet’s heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and body temperature from the moment anesthesia begins until your pet is fully awake. We adjust our approach in real time to keep everything running smoothly.

Post-Surgical Recovery

After surgery, we provide detailed discharge instructions and pain management plans so your pet heals comfortably at home. We’re always just a phone call away if you have questions during recovery.

When Your Pet Might Need Surgery

Sometimes surgery is planned well in advance, and other times an urgent situation calls for quick action. Pets may need surgical intervention for conditions like torn ligaments, internal blockages from swallowed objects, tumor removals, or reproductive health procedures. Breeds with shorter faces, such as bulldogs and pugs, may also benefit from specialized surgeries like soft palate and nares resections to help them breathe more easily. Dr. Sam Varon on our team has particular skill in these procedures, along with various eye surgeries crucial for brachycephalic breeds.

If you notice sudden changes in your pet’s behavior, appetite, or mobility, don’t wait. Early evaluation often means simpler treatment and a quicker recovery.

Hear From Our Pet Parents

“ Dr. Sam saved my baby...

My dog Aurora had mouth cancer. I found out and had such little time to schedule her surgery because it was so aggressive. I was referred to Dr. Sam by a friend. I live in Santa Barbara and made the trip up to Sacramento. I am still impressed how well everything went! She had to have almost half of her jaw removed. She is cancer free and looking amazing! Back to her puppy self. First picture is only 2 months after surgery! 2nd and 3rd are the day of. Dr. Sam saved my baby

“ The hospitality and professionalism demonstrated by the entire staff was second to none...

I drove 95 miles to have Dr. Sam at Broadway Vet perform surgery on my kitten. The hospitality and professionalism demonstrated by the entire staff was second to none and I will be a return customer for all my future veterinary needs! My kitty bounced back so quickly because Dr. Sam is an expert in his field and knew just what needed to be done. Highly recommend Broadway Veterinary Hospital! Thanks, Dr. Sam!
