What Is Veterinary Surgery?
Veterinary surgery encompasses a variety of medical procedures performed to treat injuries, illnesses, or conditions that cannot be addressed with medication alone. These can include routine procedures such as spaying and neutering, as well as more complex surgeries like orthopedic procedures or abdominal surgery.
At South Lake Vet, we perform a wide range of pet surgery services, including:
- Soft Tissue Surgeries: Procedures involving internal organs, such as tumor removals, gastrointestinal surgeries, or bladder surgery.
- Orthopedic Surgeries: We work closely with board-certified veterinary surgeons to offer a wide array of orthopedic services for both dogs and cats.
- Dental Surgeries: In cases of severe dental disease or injuries, we provide tooth extractions and other dental procedures.
- Emergency Surgeries: We are equipped to handle urgent surgical cases, such as trauma or injuries resulting from accidents.
We proudly serve Lexington, SC, and surrounding areas, such as Red Bank, White Knoll, Edmund, and South Congaree, providing compassionate and skilled surgical care for pets in need. Our goal is to provide your pet with the safest, most effective surgery possible, minimizing discomfort and ensuring a smooth recovery.
Why Is Pet Surgery Important?
Surgical procedures are sometimes necessary to treat serious health issues in pets that cannot be resolved with non-invasive treatments. Some of the reasons why pet surgery may be required include:
- Injuries or Trauma: Pets can suffer from fractures, wounds, or other injuries that require surgical repair.
- Health Conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as tumors, bladder stones, or gastrointestinal issues, may require surgery for effective treatment.
- Pain Relief: Surgery can be used to relieve pain caused by chronic conditions or injuries, improving your pet’s quality of life.
Our team is committed to providing the best surgical care possible to alleviate pain and address health issues and improve your pet’s overall well-being.

- Treating Health Conditions: Surgery can address a variety of medical issues, from injuries to diseases like cancer, tumors, and certain organ conditions.
- Pain Relief: Surgical procedures can provide relief from chronic pain caused by injury, infection, or musculoskeletal conditions.
- Improved Quality of Life: By addressing the root cause of your pet’s health problem, surgery can improve your pet’s comfort, mobility, and overall happiness.
