Veterinary Surgery

Sometimes surgery is the safest and most effective way to restore a pet’s health, comfort, or mobility. While we always prioritize conservative and minimally invasive treatment options, there are situations where surgical care provides the best outcome.

At Bonner Springs Animal Care Center, we offer a range of surgical services for dogs and cats, performed with careful planning, modern monitoring, and a strong focus on patient safety and recovery.

Surgical Care for Dogs & Cats

Our surgical services address a variety of medical needs, from injury repair to disease treatment. Every surgical recommendation is made thoughtfully, weighing the benefits of surgery against potential risks and considering your pet’s overall health, age, and lifestyle.

We take the time to explain each procedure clearly and ensure you feel informed and supported throughout the process.

Orthopedic Surgery

Orthopedic surgery focuses on conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. These procedures are often recommended to restore mobility, correct injuries, and reduce chronic pain.

Common orthopedic procedures we perform include:

Orthopedic surgery can play an important role in improving comfort and function, especially for pets experiencing trauma, degenerative joint disease, or mobility-limiting conditions. Click to learn more about our Pain Management Services for pets.

Soft Tissue Surgery

Common soft tissue procedures include:

Our goal is always to use the least invasive approach that still provides effective, long-term results.

Spay & Neuter Procedures

In addition to medical and orthopedic surgery, we also perform routine spay and neuter procedures as part of our preventative care services. These surgeries offer important health and behavioral benefits and help prevent unwanted litters.

You can learn more about spay and neuter procedures on our Preventative Care page.

What to Expect When Your Pet Needs Surgery

We understand that surgery can feel stressful for pet owners, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Before surgery, we perform pre-operative evaluations — including bloodwork using our in-house diagnostic capabilities — to ensure your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia. We’ll provide detailed instructions for preparing your pet at home prior to their procedure.

During surgery, your pet’s vital signs are continuously monitored, and we use high-quality medications and equipment to support a safe, comfortable experience.

After surgery, we’ll send your pet home with clear post-operative instructions covering pain management, incision care, activity restrictions, medications, and follow-up visits. Our team remains available to answer questions and support your pet’s recovery.

If your pet requires surgery or has a condition that may benefit from a surgical solution, early evaluation can make a meaningful difference in outcomes and recovery.
