Comprehensive Veterinary Surgical Services Offered
At Steinway Court Veterinarian, we perform medical and emergency surgeries to help treat disease and conditions in pets or to repair injuries sustained through trauma.
Our vets routinely perform the following elective and non-elective surgeries at our Astoria clinic:
- Soft Tissue Surgery
For pets suffering from ear, nose, and throat disorders, we offer soft tissue surgical procedures.
These procedures are also available for hepatic, urogenital, oncological, cardiothoracic, gastrointestinal, and skin disorders.
- Spaying & Neutering
When spaying or neutering a dog or cat, we surgically sterilize them in order to prevent disease and provide them with an extended life expectancy.
- Mass Removal
Cats and dogs will often develop masses associated with their skin. Masses can sometimes grow inside your companion's body cavity and can be serious, or ever life-threatening.
Mass removal surgery is a fairly common procedure for both cats and dogs.
- Foreign Body
Sometimes, foreign objects are ingested or can get stuck inside a cat's or dog's body.
Whether your pet has eaten an object they shouldn't have or an accident has left them injured, we can perform foreign body surgery to remove it.
In some cases, specialized skills or equipment are needed to perform pet surgery. If that is the case for your animal, your vet will refer you to a cat or dog surgeon near Astoria and work closely with your veterinary surgeon to ensure that your dog or cat receives the very best care.
- Orthopedic Surgery
Orthopedic surgeries correct diseases, disorders and injuries affecting your pet's bones, ligaments, joints, tendons and other skeletal structures throughout their body. If your cat or dog has suffered an injury or is experiencing a condition which requires advanced care beyond our ability, we are happy to refer your pet to a vet surgeon in the Astoria area.
