A splenectomy, or spleen removal, is often necessary when pets experience splenic tumors, trauma, or internal bleeding. At Animal Surgical Care of PA, our surgeons perform life-saving splenectomies using modern surgical and anesthetic protocols designed for safety and success.
Before surgery, diagnostic testing such as blood work, ultrasound, or CT scans helps confirm the need for splenectomy and evaluate for possible metastasis or concurrent disease. This thorough preparation ensures optimal surgical planning.
During the procedure, the spleen is carefully isolated and removed while maintaining stability of nearby blood vessels. Our surgical team uses advanced hemostatic and anesthetic monitoring techniques to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety.
Postoperative care includes intensive monitoring for bleeding, infection, or heart arrhythmias. Most pets recover well and regain energy within days of surgery.
We provide customized recovery plans that include diet recommendations, restricted activity, and scheduled follow-ups to monitor healing and prevent complications.
At Animal Surgical Care of PA, we combine surgical excellence with compassion—helping Pennsylvania pets overcome serious conditions through skilled splenectomy procedures.
