Conditions We Treat with Emergency Surgery
At EVE, we can manage many urgent and emergency surgical problems that pets in Mesa face, especially during busy times like holidays and school breaks when homes are more active and hazards are common.
A common emergency surgical condition is Gastric Dilatation and Volvulus or GDV, commonly called bloat, which requires surgery to untwist and secure the stomach. Signs your pet may need this surgery: your dog suddenly developing a distended, painful abdomen and unproductive retching. These symptoms are not limited to bloat. Sometimes female pets with similar symptoms can have what is called a pyometra. An infected uterus can fill with purulent material causing the abdomen to distend and be painful. An emergency spay surgery is the best treatment for a female pet with pyometra.
If your dog or cat eats something they should not, you only have a limited time to bring them in to induce vomiting. If you see the object or material being eaten, bring your pet to an emergency veterinary hospital like EVE right away to see if you can avoid surgery. But if you don’t see the incident, some clues that your pet may have a GI foreign body are vomiting, regurgitation, retching, anorexia (refusing to eat) and a painful abdomen. Ig a foreign object is still in the stomach we can sometimes induce vomiting or perform endoscopy (taking a camera and tools down the throat) to remove it. If the foreign object or material extends into the intestines, removal requires surgery. EVE staff doctors are experienced in GI surgeries such as: gastrotomy, to open the stomach: enterotomy to open the intestines; and in more severe cases, resection and anastomosis, which is removing damaged intestine section and reconnecting the healthy sections.
EVE doctors are also experienced at performing emergency C-sections for mothers having trouble giving birth to puppies or kittens. An emergency cystotomy is a bladder surgery usually to remove urinary tract stones that are causing pain, infection, or urinary blockage. Though EVE doctors are not board certified surgeons, they all have years of experience performing soft tissue surgeries. At EVE, we can perform most emergency surgeries needed including amputation of irreversibly damaged limbs. But if your pet needs a board certified surgeon for other orthopedic or thoracic surgery, we will be honest with you and help you find a referral center for care.
What to Expect During an Emergency Surgery Visit
When you arrive, your pet is triaged right away so the EVE team can assess how critical the situation is. EVE can stabilize breathing with oxygen therapy and improve blood circulation with IV fluids or blood pressure medications to make them the best surgical candidate. There are medications that can help manage pain and nausea, while EVE staff run diagnostics such as blood work and X rays to pinpoint the problem and decide if surgery is necessary.
If surgery is recommended, we review the procedure, expected risks, and aftercare with you in clear language. During surgery, your pet is continuously monitored by trained staff and appropriate equipment, then moved to our ICU area for hospitalized recovery and critical care. EVE staff will keep you updated throughout, and we also provide you thorough home care instructions so you feel prepared once your pet is ready to go home.
