Soft tissue surgery involves any surgery that does not concern bones or joints. These surgeries are meant to improve bodily functions or conduct repairs. Examples of a soft tissue surgery include: tumor removal, hernia repair, shunt surgeries, reconstructive surgery, and more.
Orthopedic surgery entails any surgery that is performed in order to repair broken bones, muscle, joints, spines, or torn ligaments. These circumstances can be caused by suffering an injury or as a result of having some kind of disease or congenital condition. Orthopedic surgery can sometimes require a longer recovery period, however, it is the most effective way of treating these types of musculoskeletal issues.
There are significant medical and behavioral benefits to your pet undergoing the spay/neuter procedure. If you are wondering if this procedure is right for you and your pet, consider the following:
Female spaying can increase your pet's lifespan by decreasing infections in the uterus and breast tumors, which statistically have a great 0pchance of being malignant. Spaying will also prevent heat cycles in females, so you won't have to deal with the "yowling" at all hours accompanied by the frequent urination that often times winds up where it doesn't belong (think anywhere in your home!).
Male neutering can also increase longevity as it eliminates the potential of testicular cancer as well as developing certain prostate issues along the way. It also puts a cap on spraying (fowl smelling urine in inappropriate places) and certain aggressive behaviors.
