Pet Mass Removals
Addressing masses or lumps on your pet is crucial to their healthcare journey. At Cat & Dog Hospital Of Columbia in Columbia, MD, our veterinary team is skilled in providing safe, comprehensive pet mass removal procedures
Understanding Pet Mass Removals
Pet masses, often called lumps or tumors, are readily concerning to most pet owners. While not all masses are harmful, their presence may warrant further investigation. Pet mass removals involve the surgical extraction of these masses to determine their nature and address potential health implications.
The Importance of Pet Mass Removals
Pet mass removals serve a dual purpose: they are both preventive and diagnostic. Removing a mass not only eliminates potential health risks associated with certain types of masses but also provides the opportunity to conduct diagnostic testing to determine the nature of the mass.
Key Aspects of Pet Mass Removals
At Cat & Dog Hospital Of Columbia, our approach to pet mass removals involves:
Thorough Evaluation
Our veterinarians thoroughly examine the mass, considering factors such as size, location, and any associated symptoms.
Pre-Surgical Assessment
Before the procedure, we conduct pre-surgical assessments, including bloodwork and other diagnostic tests, to ensure your pet is suitable for surgery.
Surgical Intervention
The removal procedure is performed with precision and care, considering the unique characteristics of the mass and its location.
When Pet Mass Removals are Necessary
Pet owners should be attentive to signs indicating the need for mass removals, including:
Changes in Size or Shape
Rapid growth or changes in the size and shape of a mass may warrant removal.
Ulceration or Bleeding
Masses that exhibit signs of ulceration or bleeding may require prompt attention.
Functional Implications
Masses that interfere with your pet’s ability to move, eat, or perform daily activities may be recommended for removal.
