At Mascot Animal Hospital, surgery is approached with careful planning, clear communication, and attentive follow-up.
Our goal is to keep your pet safe and comfortable while making sure you understand each step before and after the procedure.
Spaying is a common procedure for female pets, but timing matters. The right time is different for every
pet.
• Performed under anesthesia with continuous monitoring
• Timing recommendations based on breed, size, and overall health
• Clear guidance on recovery, activity restriction, and pain management
Thoughtfully timed spaying supports long-term health and reduces the risk of reproductive conditions.
Neuter Surgery
Neutering can offer both health and behavioral benefits for male pets. Timing is determined individually.
• Performed under anesthesia with close monitoring
• Personalized timing recommendations based on breed and body size
• Post-surgery care guidance to support smooth healing
Properly timed neutering supports reproductive health and long-term well-being.
Dental Surgery
Dental disease is often painful and can affect overall health.
• Dental extractions and oral surgery when needed
• Pain management focused on comfort and safety
• Feeding and home care guidance during recovery
Dental surgery helps relieve pain and prevent infection from spreading.

General & Soft Tissue Surgery
Soft Tissue Surgery

Cystotomy helps restore normal urination and relieve discomfort.
Lumpectomy
Some lumps require surgical removal based on size, location, and findings.

Early removal supports clearer diagnosis and better outcomes.
Orthopedic & Mobility Surgery
Orthopedic Surgery
Orthopedic conditions can affect movement, comfort, and quality of life.

• MPL surgery for kneecap instability
• Fracture repair, splinting, and cast application
When performed at the right time, orthopedic surgery can restore mobility and reduce long-term pain. If your pet is limping, slowing down, or showing signs of pain, an evaluation can help clarify next steps.
Call us to discuss mobility concerns.
Reproductive & Maternal Surgery
Cesarean Section
A cesarean section may be necessary when natural delivery is not progressing safely.
