Cat & Dog Surgeries We Offer

We perform a wide variety of soft tissue and some orthopedic procedures for cats and dogs, all under one roof. If your pet needs surgery, you don’t need to drive to a distant referral center—we’ve got you covered.

Here are some of the procedures we regularly perform:

  • Spays and neuters
  • Prophylactic gastropexy (to prevent life-threatening bloat in large-breed dogs)
  • Cystotomies (bladder stone removal)
  • Mass removals
  • Femoral head ostectomies (FHOs) for hip issues
  • Anal sacculectomies (anal glands removal)
  • Cherry eye repair
  • Enucleations (damaged or diseased eye removal)
  • Abdominal exploratories and foreign body removal
  • Skin biopsies
  • Wound repair
  • Limb, toe, and tail amputations for trauma or cancer

If your pet requires a more advanced or specialty procedure, we’ll help coordinate care with trusted surgical referral partners and guide you every step of the way.

Your Pet’s Safety Is Our Top Priority

When your pet is in our care, they’re in good hands. Every surgical patient receives:

  • A pre-anesthetic exam and any necessary testing to assess their health and minimize risk

  • Individualized anesthetic protocols tailored to your pet’s age, size, and medical needs

  • Advanced monitoring of heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and more throughout surgery

  • Heated surgical tables and warm blankets to maintain body temperature

  • Intravenous fluids for hydration and blood pressure support

  • Comprehensive pain management before, during, and after surgery

  • A quiet, stress-free recovery space with attentive team members by your pet’s side

We’re here to answer your questions, talk through your concerns, and make sure you feel supported from the moment you book the surgery to the day your pet is back to their tail-wagging (or purring) self.

A Higher Standard of Surgical Support

Every pet deserves access to skilled surgical care in a setting that feels like home. At Manchester Animal Hospital, we’re proud to combine small-town compassion with the clinical excellence your pet needs to thrive. From routine spays and neuters to advanced soft tissue and orthopedic procedures, you can count on our team to provide the same level of care we’d want for our own family.
