What Are The Most Common Surgeries You Have Performed?

Ever wondered what happens when your furry friend needs surgery? Dr. O'Hara pulls back the curtain on veterinary surgical procedures in this enlightening episode of Tail Talk.

From routine spays and neuters to emergency foreign object removals (corn cobs, anyone?), we explore the most common surgeries performed at Abingdon Animal Medical Center. Dr. O'Hara shares valuable insights on what pet parents should expect before, during, and after their pet undergoes a surgical procedure. You'll learn why younger animals typically recover faster, how proper pain management accelerates healing, and practical tips for managing your pet's recovery at home.

The highlight of our discussion centers on Dolly, a mini schnauzer rescued from the streets on a rainy winter night. Her remarkable story involves a massive, heart-shaped bladder stone that was causing serious health complications. Dr. O'Hara walks us through how surgical intervention not only removed the stone but normalized Dolly's kidney values and potentially saved her life. It's a powerful reminder of how veterinary surgery can transform outcomes for our beloved companions.

Whether you're preparing for your pet's upcoming procedure or simply want to understand what happens behind the scenes at a veterinary surgical center, this episode delivers expert knowledge with Dr. O'Hara's signature blend of compassion and clarity. Give it a listen, and you'll walk away with a deeper appreciation for the surgical care that helps keep our four-legged family members healthy and happy.
