Intestinal & Gastric Surgeries
Intestinal and gastric surgeries for dogs and cats are required in cases when there is a partial or complete blockage of a pet’s digestive track.
At Sploot, our experienced veterinarians will ensure that your pet gets the best possible care. We use state-of-the-art technology to diagnose gastric conditions and have extensive experience in veterinary surgeries.
Common Gastric Problems in Pets
In addition to other potential causes, blockages can be due to the following:
GDV is sudden, painful, life-threatening, and must be remedied quickly through GDV surgery — in order for the patient to survive..
When a dog or cat has an umbilical hernia, it can be seen as a bubble or lump at the center of their belly.
In cases requiring specialists, our team can connect you with appropriate specialist surgery offices. For more questions, consult our Pet Parent Concierge Team via phone or text.
