At Pets R Us Animal Hospital in Commerce City, CO, we offer splenectomy surgery to remove the spleen in pets dealing with conditions such as tumors, trauma, or splenic torsion. The spleen plays a role in filtering blood and supporting immune function, but in some cases, it can develop conditions that require surgical removal to ensure your pet’s health.
Common signs that your pet may need a splenectomy include abdominal swelling, lethargy, vomiting, or a sudden collapse. Tumors or cysts on the spleen can lead to pain, internal bleeding, and organ damage. Early detection and surgery are crucial to prevent serious complications and improve your pet’s quality of life.
Our team performs splenectomy surgery with the highest standards of safety. We use advanced diagnostic imaging to assess the condition of the spleen before performing the surgery. With careful anesthesia management and post-operative care, we ensure your pet’s comfort and a smooth recovery.
While removal of the spleen may seem concerning, most pets recover well and live normal lives without their spleen. If you notice any concerning symptoms in your pet, such as lethargy or abdominal swelling, contact Pets R Us Animal Hospital today to schedule an evaluation. We’re here to provide compassionate care and expert treatment for your pet’s health.
