Pet Surgery in Denver
At Sploot, we provide first-class surgery for dogs and cats in Denver. With our expert veterinary team and state-of-the art surgical suites, we perform a variety of vet surgeries, including both scheduled and urgent procedures.
Comprehensive Surgery for Pets in Denver
Our board certified team performs a wide range of pet surgeries in Denver, from elective pet surgery to more advanced surgical procedures to treat medical issues and injuries.
1. Spaying & Neutering
In Denver, spaying and neutering is a requirement for pet licensing. This routine and preventative pet surgery also provides a range of health benefits (decreased risk of certain cancers and more) — as well as behavioral benefits for dogs and cats.
Our team ensures stress-free care and personalized advice on the best time to get spaying or neutering for dogs and cats.
2. Mass Removals
Masses in dogs and cats can be benign or malignant (i.e., cancerous), and is a common problem we encounter in our Denver vet clinics. Trust our expert team for precise diagnoses and the safe removal of masses through pet surgery.
3. Bladder Stone Extraction
Bladder stone extraction is a surgical procedure that can alleviate a number of uncomfortable symptoms caused by bladder stones, such as abdominal pain and difficulty urinating. Our expert veterinary team utilizes cutting-edge technology to precisely diagnose and remove these stones.
Intestinal & Gastric Surgery for Dogs & Cats
Blockages and irregularities in a dog’s or cat’s intestines can lead to bloating, vomiting, and diarrhea. We have advanced imaging technology in-clinic to accurately and quickly diagnose gastrointestinal issues and determine if they require surgery. We treat issues like GDV, umbilical hernia, GI tumors, and more.
Ingested Foreign Body Removal
When dogs and cats accidentally ingest non-food items or foreign materials, these items may get stuck in their intestinal tract. We offer surgical techniques, guided by imaging technology, to safely extract the foreign body and restore your pet’s digestive functions.
Dental Surgery for Pets
Ensure your pet's dental health with our expert services. We offer preventative teeth cleaning and advanced dental surgery, all performed with the latest technology for your pet's comfort and safety. We can treat issues like plaque buildup, tooth decay, loose teeth, oral mass removals, and more.
