Vancouver Veterinarians : Healthy Dog Series

Dogs surgery procedures can be divided into two major categories, elective and required. Elective surgery for dogs includes spaying, castration (sterilization by complete removal of the testicles), vasectomy (sterilization by severing of the testicular tubules), tail amputation (tail docking), dewclaw removal and ear cropping. Required surgery for dogs are those performed after traumatic or disease induced injury, examples including repair of a fractured thigh bone or removal of a tumor. No matter which dogs surgery is being considered, the decision to perform veterinary surgery should be based on a thorough understanding of the risks, possible complication, and consequences of the procedure. Any anesthetic/surgical procedure can potentially result in the death of the patient. The chance of death is often very low, however, the perceived benefits of the surgical procedure must always outweigh this inherent risk. When discussing possible surgery for dogs, pet owners should as accurately as possible convey their expectations to the veterinarian and have all their expectations concerning the contemplated procedure answered to their satisfaction before leaving the veterinary surgery examination room.
