Sometimes standard imaging doesn't provide all the information a surgical team needs. CT produces detailed, cross-sectional images that allow veterinarians to evaluate internal structures with greater detail.

CT may be used to assess tumors and masses, nasal and sinus conditions, neurological disorders, orthopedic problems, lung disease, and abdominal abnormalities.

For surgical patients, this information can help the team better understand the condition and plan an appropriate surgical approach.

Minimally invasive techniques use small incisions and specialized equipment to perform certain procedures while minimizing disruption to surrounding tissues.

Depending on the procedure and the patient, these techniques may offer benefits such as smaller incisions, less postoperative discomfort, and a faster recovery.

Stitches Veterinary Surgery offers minimally invasive procedures including laparoscopy, thoracoscopy, endoscopy, and cystoscopy.

Not every procedure is suited for a minimally invasive approach, so the surgical team will determine which technique is appropriate for each patient.

Dani is looking pretty fancy in his new set-up! And mom is all ready to get him out on the town (of course, that is, once he is cleared after his recovery period!) Dani had an arthroscopy of his stifle (knee) as well as a TPLO (tibial plateau leveling osteotomy) surgery yesterday. Give him a few months, and he will be ready to head out on the town (or to the dog park) again!

From socks and toys to corn cobs and string, pets have a way of getting into things they definitely should not eat. Unfortunately, some swallowed items can become stuck and lead to a dangerous blockage that may require surgery.

If your pet suddenly stops eating, vomits, seems uncomfortable, or is acting unusually tired after getting into something suspicious, prompt veterinary care matters.

Contact us if you have concerns or think your pet may have swallowed something they should not. https://stitchesvet.com/contact/

Limping is not always “just slowing down.” 🦴

A CCL injury can make everyday activities uncomfortable for dogs, but treatment options like TPLO surgery can help restore stability, comfort, and mobility. If your dog has been limping or seems less active than usual, contact us to schedule an evaluation. 🐾

A dog that occasionally skips, hops, or holds up a back leg for a few steps may be showing signs of a luxating patella (a kneecap that dislocates).

This common orthopedic condition can range from mild to severe and may lead to discomfort, lameness, or arthritis if left untreated. If you've noticed changes in your pet's gait or mobility, an orthopedic evaluation can help determine the cause and recommend the best treatment options.
