Emergency Surgery

Emergency Surgery

When your pet is faced with a sudden injury or life-threatening condition, immediate surgical intervention can be critical. At Airport Animal Emergi-Center, our skilled surgical team is equipped and ready to perform emergency surgeries with the precision and care your pet deserves. 

Our facility is equipped with state-of-the-art surgical suites, advanced diagnostic tools, and comprehensive post-operative care options, ensuring that your pet receives the highest standard of care from start to finish. 

Common Emergency Surgeries We Perform 

Our experienced veterinary surgeons can handle a wide range of emergency procedures, including but not limited to: 

  • Trauma Repair: Immediate surgical care for injuries from accidents, falls, or bites, including lacerations, and internal injuries, as well as stabilizing fractures.
  • Foreign Object Removal: Surgical removal of ingested objects causing blockages or perforations in the gastrointestinal tract. 
  • GDV (Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus): A life-threatening condition often seen in large breed dogs, requiring urgent surgery to correct stomach bloating and twisting. 
  • C-Section (Cesarean Section): Emergency delivery of puppies or kittens when a natural birth is not possible or safe. 
  • Bladder Stone Removal: Surgery to remove stones that are blocking the urinary tract, which can lead to severe pain and life-threatening complications. 
  • Tumor Removal: Urgent removal of rapidly growing or bleeding tumors that pose an immediate risk to your pet’s health. 

What to Expect During Emergency Surgery 

From the moment your pet arrives, our team springs into action. We begin with a thorough assessment and quickly move to stabilize your pet, using advanced diagnostics to identify the best course of action. Once the need for surgery is confirmed, our veterinarians will discuss the procedure with you, including risks, benefits, and expected outcomes. 

During surgery, your pet is closely monitored by a dedicated anesthesia team, ensuring their safety and comfort throughout the procedure. We use modern anesthetics and monitoring equipment to minimize risks and provide the best possible care. 

Post-Operative Care and Recovery 

After surgery, your pet will be transferred to our recovery area, where they will receive continuous monitoring and supportive care. Our team will keep you informed of your pet’s progress and provide detailed instructions for at-home care, including pain management, wound care, and follow-up appointments. 

We understand that this can be a stressful time, and we are here to support you every step of the way. Our goal is to ensure your pet has a smooth recovery and the best possible outcome.
