Meet Gizmo! 🐾💙
This super sweet boy had a TPLO to help stabilize his knee after a cranial cruciate ligament injury. He was an absolute sweetheart for us and handled his surgery day like a champ. 🥰
Now comes the hard part: rest, recovery, and keeping those puppy-dog eyes from negotiating his way out of activity restrictions. 😂
Wishing Gizmo a smooth recovery and lots of comfortable adventures ahead! 🦴✨

🐱 Will My Cat Need Surgery? | PU Surgery Edition

A urinary blockage is one of the most serious emergencies we see in cats.

When a cat becomes blocked, urine cannot leave the body. This can quickly lead to dangerous electrolyte imbalances, kidney damage, and can become life-threatening if left untreated.

Signs of a urinary blockage include:
🚨 Frequent trips to the litter box
🚨 Straining to urinate
🚨 Crying or vocalizing while trying to urinate
🚨 Urinating outside the litter box
🚨 Lethargy, vomiting, or loss of appetite

Many blocked cats can be treated medically, but some experience repeated blockages despite appropriate treatment.

A Perineal Urethrostomy (PU) is a surgical procedure that creates a wider urinary opening, helping reduce the risk of future obstructions in appropriately selected patients.

If you think your cat may be blocked, do not wait to see if it improves on its own. Seek veterinary care immediately.

💙 Urinary blockages are emergencies.

💙 Surgery isn't always the answer, but knowing when to ask the question can make all the difference.

Meet Creamscicle 🧡🐱

Creamscicle was found at a shelter with some pretty serious injuries, including a fractured hip and fractured femur. Thankfully, a rescue stepped up, adopted him into their care, and made sure he received the surgical treatment he needed.

This sweet boy has been through a lot, but he's now repaired and on his way toward recovery. ❤️‍🩹

We’re so glad we could be part of Creamscicle’s journey toward getting back on all four paws! 🐾

🐾 Will My Dog Need Surgery? | Amputation Edition

When people hear the word amputation, they often imagine limitations.

What we often see is relief.

Amputation may be recommended for patients with:
🐾 Severe limb injuries
🐾 Bone cancer
🐾 Significant nerve damage
🐾 Non-functional limbs
🐾 Chronic pain that can no longer be managed

One of the most common questions we hear is:

"Will my dog still have a good quality of life?"

For many patients, the answer is a resounding yes.

Dogs don't focus on what they've lost. They focus on how they feel today. Once pain is removed and recovery is complete, many tripod dogs return to running, playing, hiking, swimming, and enjoying life with their families.

Sometimes losing a leg means getting a life back.

💙 Surgery isn't always the answer, but knowing when to ask the question can make all the difference.

Meet Bodie, an adorable 9-month-old Chihuahua mix! 🐾💙

This sweet little guy came to us after dealing with recurrent abscesses of his right a**l gland. It turned out that the duct hadn't formed properly, preventing the gland from draining normally and causing one painful problem after another.

Today, Bodie underwent surgery to remove the affected a**l gland and put those troublesome abscesses behind him. 🩺🐶

He was such a good boy through it all, and that little face clearly deserves some extra love while he recovers! 🥰

🐱 Will My Cat Need Surgery? | FHO Edition

Cats are masters at hiding pain.

If your cat has become less active, stopped jumping onto favorite surfaces, or seems uncomfortable when moving around, it may be more than just "getting older."

A Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) is a surgical procedure commonly used to treat painful hip conditions, including:
🐾 Hip fractures
🐾 Hip luxations (dislocations)
🐾 Hip dysplasia
🐾 Chronic hip pain and arthritis

Signs your cat may be struggling with hip pain:
🐱 Difficulty jumping or climbing
🐱 Limping or favoring a hind leg
🐱 Reluctance to play or be active
🐱 Changes in grooming habits
🐱 Changes in behavior or temperament

The goal of an FHO is simple: remove the source of pain and allow a comfortable, functional "false joint" to form.

Many cats return to running, jumping, climbing, and all the other activities they use to terrorize their households after recovery.

🧡 Less pain. More purrs.

💙 Surgery isn't always the answer, but knowing when to ask the question can make all the difference.

🧦 Will My Dog Need Surgery? | Foreign Body Edition

Dogs explore the world with their mouths.

Unfortunately, that sometimes includes socks, toys, rocks, corn cobs, underwear, hair ties, dish towels, and just about anything else they can fit between their teeth.

Signs your dog may have swallowed something they shouldn't:
🐾 Vomiting or trying to vomit
🐾 Loss of appetite
🐾 Abdominal pain or bloating
🐾 Lethargy or weakness
🐾 Diarrhea or difficulty passing stool

A foreign body can cause a blockage in the stomach or intestines and may quickly become a life-threatening emergency.

The sooner a problem is identified, the more treatment options may be available.

If you suspect your dog has eaten something they shouldn't, contact your veterinarian right away.

🧡 Foreign bodies can cause blockages, tearing, and serious complications.
💙 Early care can save lives.

💙 Surgery isn't always the answer, but knowing when to ask the question can make all the difference.

Gorda was a rock star for her TPLO today! 🐾
This sweet girl was the definition of bravery as she underwent surgery to help stabilize her knee and get back to doing all the things dogs love most: running, playing, and investigating suspicious squirrels. Despite a long day, Gorda was an absolute angel and won over everyone she met.
Now comes the important part: plenty of rest, lots of love, and a careful recovery. With time and rehabilitation, she'll be back on all four paws before she knows it. Her expression says, "I'd like my payment in treats, please."

🎗️ Will My Dog Need Surgery? | Mass Removal Edition

You find a lump while petting your dog.

Now what?

The good news is that not every lump or bump is cancer. The important thing is having it evaluated rather than waiting to see what happens.

Signs a mass should be checked by your veterinarian:
🐾 A new lump or bump
🐾 A mass that is growing
🐾 Changes in color or appearance
🐾 Bleeding, ulceration, or irritation
🐾 Excessive licking or chewing at the area

Many masses are benign, but some require additional testing or surgical removal. The sooner a mass is evaluated, the more options may be available for treatment.

One of the most common things we hear is:
"It's been there for years."

While that's sometimes reassuring, any lump that changes in size, appearance, or behavior deserves attention.

💜 Not every lump is cancer. Every new lump deserves attention.

💙 Surgery isn't always the answer, but knowing when to ask the question can make all the difference.

🐾 Will My Dog Need Surgery? | Patella Edition

Does your dog occasionally skip a few steps on a back leg, then suddenly walk normally again?

That "funny little hop" may actually be a sign of a luxating patella, also known as a kneecap that slips out of place.

Signs to watch for:
🐶 Intermittent limping or skipping
🐶 "Bunny hopping" or high-stepping gait
🐶 Difficulty getting up or jumping
🐶 Reluctance to play, run, or go on walks

While some dogs live comfortably with mild luxating patellas, others may benefit from surgical correction to improve comfort, stability, and long-term joint health.

Small breeds such as Yorkshire Terriers, Pomeranians, Chihuahuas, and Maltese are especially prone to this condition.

💙 Surgery isn't always the answer, but knowing when to ask the question can make all the difference.
