Our Egg Harbor Township vets routinely perform the following elective and non-elective surgeries:

• Spaying & Neutering

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

• Mass Removal

  Dogs and cats can often develop masses associated with their skin. These masses can also grow inside their body cavity and become serious or even life-threatening. 

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

• Foreign Body

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

  Regardless of whether your pet has consumed an object they shouldn't have or have had an accident that has left them injured, we are able to perform foreign body surgery to remove the offending object. 

  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 Egg Harbor Township and work closely with your veterinary surgeon to ensure that your dog or cat receives the very best care.

• Wounds

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

  It's critically important that a wound be cleaned, disinfected and cared for properly by a veterinarian as soon as possible after your pet is injured.

• Dental Surgery

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

The Pet Surgery Process

We know that the prospect of bringing in your pet for surgery can be a frightening one. But rest assured, at Newkirk Family Veterinarians, we recommend surgery only when it is in your pet's absolute best interests. 

We will ensure that you fully understand why we are recommending surgery, and that you are comfortable making the decision to move ahead.

If your pet requires advanced care, our vets will refer you to a veterinary surgeon near Egg Harbor Township, and work closely with your vet surgeon to ensure that your pet receives the best possible care. 

Surgical protocols at our clinic include:

Pre-surgical assessments. We will walk through and confirm the specifics of the procedure by conducting a physical exam of your pet. We will also make sure that we complete a series of blood tests in order to determine if your pet faces any risk of complications related to anesthesia.  

Dedicated surgical suites. Surgeries are performed in a dedicated surgical suite. This room is kept completely sterile to prevent infection and cross-contamination.

Surgical attire. Our staff all wear disposable masks and caps at all times while in our surgical suite. Those that are involved in the procedure itself will also wear sterile gowns and single use gloves. 

Sterile packs and equipment. We carefully clean, sterilize and wrap our surgical instruments and equipment prior to every surgery.
