For all pet parents, it can be worrysome to know that their lovely pets need surgery. If our veterinarians recommend a surgical procedure to treat any medical issue affecting your pet’s health, rest assured that it’s with the best interest of the pet in mind. At DCC Animal Hospital, our veterinarians provide you with every detail about the issue, diagnosis procedure, recovery time, and overall cost of the surgery.
From spaying and neutering services to more complex veterinary surgical procedures, DCC Animal Hospital is well equipped to handle all medical needs of your beloved pet. We follow global veterinary standards to keep your pet in the best health. We plan, propose, and perform a preoperative examination according to your pet’s condition at our centres.
Depending on the nature of the surgery, pre‐surgical abnormalities can be addressed, and drug selections can be modified. Sometimes surgery is postponed or even cancelled until the surgical team feels that it is the only option left.
Once anaesthesia is deemed safe for the patient, we use specialized monitoring equipment to track vital signs and pay close attention to ensure the best possible outcome for your pet.
We strive to provide the highest quality of surgical care and achieve the highest level of client satisfaction. Our approach to veterinary care allows us to provide the best possible treatment options for your pet. Connect with our expert veterinary surgeons today.

Once the surgery is over, your pet will be moved to a dry, warm place where they can recover from the effect of anaesthesia. For the next 12-24 hours after surgery, your pet will most likely be weary, so give them plenty of rest. We will keep you informed about the post-surgery tips for your beloved pet. Moreover, here are some key pointers for you to understand the post-operative phase.

Before the surgery, the veterinary team confirms the specifics of the procedure by taking a complete physical exam of the patient. They ensure blood tests have been documented and reviewed by the veterinarian prior to the surgery.
You should assess all the complications involved in the surgery along with its risk. You should consider age and health of your pet, outcome of the surgery, recovery time and rehabilitation.
The pre-surgical instructions vary on the type of surgery your dog will undergo. It can be an emergency or a planned surgery. However, general instructions include feeding and drinking the day before or morning of the surgery, not to feed your dog prior to the surgery etc.
Few precautions that you should take are regular clinical visits for your pet's for routine checkups, keep a check on his medication, food and water, cleaning his stitches, changing the bandage, arrange a warm place that will provide him maximum comfort and do not discontinue your pet's recovery program.
Most common surgical procedures in dogs are spay, neuter, dental extractions and benign growth on the skin.
Some emergency surgeries include skin lacerations, torn cruciate or ACL ruptures, internal bleeding, intestinal obstruction, fracture repair, malignant skin tumour, bladder stone and spleen cancer.
Most of the dog surgeries are low risk. However, they do have their own concerns from discovering to curing them. We have advanced technology which makes the surgeries low risk.
