Procedures
 
Exploratory surgeries are diagnostic procedures.
Abdominal is the most common
Skin is incised at the middle of the abdomen to open the
abdominal cavity
Abdominal organs are examined and evaluated for
abnormalities
 
Exploratory Procedures
 
Exploratory
 
Vomiting, diarrhea, and not eating are warning signs that
could lead to the proposal of an exploratory surgery after all
other diagnostic testing has failed to show any
abnormalities.
 
Exploratory procedures range from $600-$6000 in dogs.
(prices vary by clinic)
Exploratory procedures range from $400-$5000 in cats.
(again, prices vary by clinic)

Exploratory Procedure
 
Exploratory Procedure
(for the squeamish)
 
Spay, or Ovariohysterectomy, is the
complete removal of the female
reproductive tract.
Oviducts, ovaries, uterine horns,
and the uterus are removed
Prevents the animal from
becoming pregnant and
eliminates heat cycles
 
Spay
 
The best time to spay is before puberty
Spaying before puberty can greatly decrease the risk of
ovarian cancer
 
Spay
 
The average cost is between $50-$200
Depends on size of the animal and whether the animal
is in heat or pregnant
 
Spay
 
Neuter is the surgical removal of a
male animal’s testes.
Organs responsible for sperm
production, sperm maturation,
and secretion of testosterone
are removed
Prevents the animal from
fathering offspring
 
Neuter
 
Neutering should also be
performed before the animal
reaches puberty.
Between 5-7 months for dogs
 Between 4-6 months for cats
 
Neuter
 
Neutering cost ranges from $100-$300
Varies by animal size and clinic
 
Neuter
 
Helps prevent adding to the animal shelter overpopulation.
Reduces the risk of cancer
Decreases roaming behavior, which helps to stop the spread of
disease

Spay & Neuter Procedures
 
Bladder stones are linked to an excess amount of protein
and minerals, such as, magnesium, phosphorus, and
calcium.
Minerals form crystals, which become uroliths, or stones
 
Bladder Stone Removal
 
Symptoms of bladder stones:
Vomiting
Lethargy
Flank/renal pain
Blood in the urine
Decreased appetite
 
Bladder Stone Removal
 
Average cost of bladder stone removal dogs - $1231.32.
Average cost of bladder stone removal in cats - $985.30.

Procedure
 
A fracture is a break or crack in the bone.
Many require the use of metal plates, rods, and screws
Some may require an external fixator
 
Surgical Fracture Repair
 
Three methods for fracture repair:
External Coaptation
Splint or cast to stabilize
External Fixation
A device goes through the bone and out through the
skin to stabilize
Internal Fixation
Devices that are surgically implanted on or in the bone
to stabilize

The cost of a surgical fracture repair is $2,000+
depending on the size of the animal and severity of
the fracture.

Sandy’s 9 year old, neutered Golden Retriever,
Bruno, is vomiting, anorexic, and lethargic.
Develop 3 to 5 questions to ask Sandy in order to
provide additional information about Bruno’s
condition?
 
Case Study
 
Additional diagnostic tests revealed blood in
Bruno’s urine. His veterinarian has diagnosed him
with bladder stones. Which procedure will best
remedy this condition? Write a description of the
procedure and the expected outcome.

Juan’s 2 year old, spayed, Manx cat Fluffy, is
reluctant to bear weight on her back right leg, and
lethargic. Develop 3 to 5 questions to ask Juan in
order to provide additional information about
Fluffy’s condition?

tibial fracture. Which procedure will best remedy
this condition? Write a description of the
procedure and the expected outcome.

Tex’s 4 month old, neutered, mixed breed puppy
Ranger is vomiting, anorexic, and lethargic.
Develop 3 to 5 questions to ask Tex in order to
provide additional information about Ranger’s
condition?

Additional diagnostic tests revealed no underlying
causes of Tex’s condition. Which procedure will
best provide additional information for his
condition? Write a description of the procedure
and the expected outcome.

Veterinary surgical procedures such as spaying, neutering, exploratory surgeries, bladder stone removal, and surgical fracture repair are essential for maintaining the health and well-being of animals. Exploratory procedures help diagnose issues when other tests fail to reveal abnormalities, and surgeries like spaying and neutering prevent unwanted pregnancies. The cost and specific procedures vary depending on the animal and clinic.
