Thyroid gland surgery may be required for pets suffering from thyroid tumors, hyperthyroidism, or related endocrine conditions. At Animal Surgical Care of PA, we combine advanced surgical technique with detailed hormonal evaluation to ensure safe, effective outcomes.
Before surgery, we perform blood tests, ultrasound, and sometimes CT imaging to assess the thyroid gland and surrounding structures. This helps us identify whether a single or both glands are affected.
During surgery, our veterinarians use meticulous dissection to remove abnormal tissue while avoiding critical structures such as the recurrent laryngeal nerve and parathyroid glands.
Anesthesia is carefully managed, and pain control begins before the first incision. Our experienced surgical team monitors vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure stability.
Postoperative care focuses on maintaining calcium balance and hormone regulation. Most pets recover smoothly with supportive therapy and follow-up testing.
Animal Surgical Care of PA proudly provides thyroid surgery for pets across Pennsylvania—helping restore healthy metabolism and energy through expert endocrine care.
