Pet Hernia Repair in Braselton, GA
When your pet has a hernia, it’s not just a small bump—it’s a big deal! Hernias occur when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscle, creating a visible bulge. While some hernias may seem harmless at first, they can lead to discomfort, restricted blood flow, and even serious health risks if left untreated. At FairPet Surgery Center in Braselton, GA, we provide expert hernia repair to help your pet feel their best again.
What Is Pet Hernia Repair?
Hernia repair is a surgical procedure designed to close openings in the muscle wall and prevent internal tissues from slipping through. Depending on the type and severity, the surgery may involve suturing the area, reinforcing it with medical mesh, or addressing any trapped organs. Common types of hernias in pets include:
- Umbilical Hernias: Found near the belly button, often present from birth
- Inguinal Hernias: Occur in the groin area and can be more common in older pets
- Perineal Hernias: Found near the rectum, often seen in unneutered male dogs
- Body Wall Hernias: Result from trauma or congenital defects, requiring immediate attention
No matter the type, our veterinary team ensures a thorough evaluation and a treatment plan tailored to your pet’s needs.
Why Hernia Repair Matters
A hernia might not seem like an emergency, but it can lead to serious complications. If an organ becomes trapped (a condition called incarceration), it can lose blood supply and cause life-threatening damage. Early hernia repair prevents these risks, reduces discomfort, and restores normal function. Our goal is to provide safe, effective treatment so your pet can return to their happy, active self.
