Veterinary Surgery

When we spay or neuter a cat or dog, we surgically sterilize them to prevent disease and provide them with an extended life expectancy. 

If your pet is experiencing pain, redness or other symptoms in or around their eyes, they may need ocular surgery.

Common ocular procedures for cats and dogs include eyelid tumor removal, cataract surgery, ectropion surgery, entropion surgery, exenteration of the orbit and cherry eye surgery.

If your cat or dog requires a veterinary surgical specialist to perform the surgery, our veterinarians will refer you to a pet surgeon near East Setauket and work closely with your animal surgeon to ensure that your pet receives the best possible care. 

Cats and dogs can develop masses associated with the skin. Masses can also grow inside a body cavity and can be serious or life-threatening.

Mass removal surgery is a fairly common procedure for both cats and dogs.

Sometimes, foreign objects are ingested or can get stuck inside a cat's or dog's body.

Whether your pet has eaten an object they shouldn't have or an accident has left them injured, we can perform foreign body surgery to remove it.

In some cases, specialized skills or equipment are needed to perform pet surgery. If that is the case for your animal, your vet will refer you to a cat or dog surgeon near East Setauket and work closely with your veterinary surgeon to ensure that your dog or cat receives the very best care.

Wounds occur when living tissue has been cut, broken, burnt, torn, or otherwise damaged.

It's imperative that these wounds be cleaned, disinfected, and appropriately cared for by a qualified veterinarian as soon as possible. 

Orthopedic surgeries correct injuries and diseases of your pet's bones, ligaments, joints, tendons, and other skeletal structures. If your dog or cat is suffering from a condition or injury that requires advanced specialized care your vet will refer your dog or cat to a vet surgeon near East Setauket.

Setauket Animal Hospital is proud to offer the services of Jeffery Seaman, our board-certified veterinary surgeon, for canine knee surgery. 

A dog's knee contains a cranial cruciate ligament (CCL), known as the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in humans. The three procedures recommended for a CCL rupture are the Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO), the Extracapsular Stabilization (Extra-Cap), and the Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA).

We will consider your pet's lifestyle, age, weight, and activity level to determine the best procedure for your dog. Our competitive surgery rates include our trademark progressive, high-quality care. 

Our veterinarians provide dental surgeries for dogs and cats. These surgeries can range from tooth extractions to gum disease treatment and jaw fracture repairs.
