Veterinary Care and Soft Tissue Procedure/Surgery for Your Pet’s Soft Tissue Injury
When you own a pet, one of your responsibilities as a pet owner is to keep your pet safe and healthy. You’ll need to find a veterinarian near you to help you keep your pet up to date with regular medical checkups and pet surgery as needed. If you live near Campbell, CA, you are encouraged to trust your furry friends' health to our Alpha Animal Hospital team.
Does Your Pet Have Soft Tissue Injury?
You know your pet best, so if you see a severe change in its appetite or activity level, you should have them checked by the veterinarian. For example, dogs or cats can injure themselves and display soft tissue injury symptoms. (Soft tissue refers to any body tissue that isn’t bone – such as muscles or the inside of their mouths.)
Soft tissue injuries to a dog may occur due to an auto accident, a fight with another animal, or other traumatic incidents. Soft tissue injuries often limit your pets’ mobility or cause them to cry out repetitively.
Treatment for Soft Tissue Injuries
When you bring your pet to our veterinarian, they may take X-rays. Those diagnostic tests can detect broken bones, or an arthroscopy (examination of the joint) can detect joint injuries. It is more difficult to detect the origin of soft tissue injuries in cats because their damage may not be evident on an X-ray. Your veterinarian will be able to determine the best course of treatment for dogs or cats.
In severe injuries – especially fractures – your pet may require surgery. If your pet must have surgery, our team at Alpha Animal Hospital will help explain every step of the procedure. Once your pet has had its procedure or surgery, we’ll explain how to help it recover.
