Urgent Surgical Procedures
Urgent surgical care focuses on conditions where delay may result in serious complications. The following are common urgent surgeries performed at Nova Pets.
Foreign Body Surgery
Ingestion of foreign material can cause intestinal obstruction, vomiting, abdominal pain, and dehydration. When obstruction prevents normal passage or complications are suspected, prompt surgical removal is required to restore gastrointestinal function and prevent perforation.
Foreign Body Surgery DetailsPyometra Surgery
Pyometra is a serious uterine infection that can progress rapidly and lead to systemic illness. Surgical removal of the infected uterus is typically necessary to prevent sepsis, stabilize the patient, and reduce the risk of life-threatening complications associated with delayed treatment.
Pyometra Surgery DetailsSplenectomy
Splenic masses or rupture can result in internal bleeding, weakness, or sudden collapse. When indicated, splenectomy is performed to control hemorrhage, stabilize the patient, and address underlying splenic disease contributing to acute clinical signs.

Urinary obstruction in male cats (PU surgery)
