Surgical Procedures

At All Care Pet Clinic, we perform medical and emergency surgeries to help treat disease and conditions in pets or to repair injuries sustained through trama.

Our Palmdale vets routinely perform the following elective and non-elective surgeries:

• Spaying & Neutering

  When spaying or neutering a dog, cat, or other animal, we are surgically sterilizing them in order to prevent unwanted pregnancies and disease as well as extend life expectancy.

• Mass Removal

  Dogs, cats and other pets may develop masses associated with their skin. These masses can also grow inside their body cavity and can grow to be serious or life-threatening. 

  Mass removal is quite a common procedure for dogs and cats.

• Foreign Body

  Sometimes, your pet may ingest otherwise have a foreign object stuck inside their 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 Palmdale and work closely with your veterinary surgeon to ensure that your dog or cat receives the very best care.

• Wounds

  Wounds occur when living tissue has been cut, broken, burnt, torn, or otherwise damaged.

  It's imperative that these wounds be cleaned, disinfected, and appropriately cared for by a qualified veterinarian as soon as possible. 

• Dental Surgery

  Our veterinarians provide dental surgeries for dogs and cats. These surgeries can range from tooth extractions to gum disease treatment and jaw fracture repairs.

The Surgery Process

We know that the idea of having to bring your pet in for surgery can be a frightening one. Rest assured that we only recommend surgery when it is in the best interests of your furry companion. 

We will make sure that you fully understand why we are recommending surgery for your pet and that you are comfortable with making the decision to move forward before we take any action. 

If your pet requires advanced care, our vets will refer you to a veterinary surgeon near Palmdale, and work closely with your veterinary surgeon to ensure that your pet receives the best possible care. 

Surgical protocols at our clinic include:

Pre-surgical assessments. We will confirm the specifics of the procedure, complete a physical examination of the patient, and make sure blood tests have been completed and reviewed by the vet in order to determine if your pet faces any risk of anesthesia-related complications.

Dedicated surgical suites. We perform surgeries in our dedicate surgical suite. We keep this room completely sterile in order to prevent infection or cross-contamination. 

Surgical attire. Our staff wear disposable caps and masks at all times when they are in the surgical suite. Those involved in the procedure itself will also wear sterile gowns and single-use gloves.

Sterile packs and equipment. We carefully clean, sterilize and wrap our surgical instruments and equipment prior to every surgery.
