Some of the most common reasons are: to remove bladder stones (cystotomy), to remove a foreign body, and to remove a mass/tumor. We can perform a large number of procedures on most organ systems. The following is a list of surgical procedures we perform here at Metzler Veterinary Hospital. 

Depending on the type of surgery your pet needs, we may require additional diagnostics to be performed (such as blood work, x-rays, etc). This will be discussed with you at the time of consult. In addition, in a small number of surgical cases, spay/neuter will be required as some conditions are genetic/heritable; this will also be discussed with you at the time of your consult.
