Soft Tissue Surgery for Dogs & Cats in Chantilly, VA

Soft tissue surgery addresses conditions involving the skin, abdominal organs, and external structures in dogs and cats. Mass removal, bladder stone surgery, and corrective ocular procedures are commonly performed to restore normal function and prevent progression of disease. At Nova Pets Surgical Center, each case is evaluated individually to determine appropriate surgical planning and structured post-operative management.

Mass Removal & Biopsy

Lumps and masses are common in both dogs and cats and may require surgical removal for diagnosis or treatment. Careful excision allows tissue evaluation and helps reduce the risk of recurrence when appropriate.

Bladder Stone Surgery (Cystotomy)

Bladder stones can cause discomfort, difficulty urinating, and recurrent infections. When medical management is not effective, surgical removal restores normal urinary function and helps prevent further obstruction.

Cherry Eye Correction

Prolapse of the gland of the third eyelid (“cherry eye”) can lead to irritation and chronic inflammation if left untreated. Surgical correction repositions and secures the gland to preserve tear production and maintain long-term eye health.

Surgical Planning & Recovery
