Pet Uterine Surgery in Braselton, GA

Your pet’s uterus may not be something you think about as a factor in your pet’s health—until it becomes a concern. Whether due to infection, complications during pregnancy, or other medical issues, uterine surgery can be a lifesaving procedure. At FairPet Surgery Center, we provide expert care to ensure your pet receives the treatment they need while keeping them as comfortable as possible.

When Does a Pet Need Uterine Surgery?

Your pet may need uterine surgery for several reasons, with pyometra and emergency C-sections being among the most common. Pyometra is a serious infection that affects unspayed female pets, leading to a pus-filled uterus that can be life-threatening if left untreated. A pet with pyometra may show symptoms like lethargy, increased thirst, vomiting, or a swollen abdomen. The safest way to treat this condition is through surgical removal of the infected uterus.

For pets experiencing difficulties during labor, a C-section may be necessary to safely deliver puppies or kittens. This procedure is typically recommended when labor has stalled, the pet is in distress, or the size or position of the babies makes natural birth unsafe. In these cases, timely intervention can save both the mother and her litter.

What to Expect from Pet Uterine Surgery

At FairPet Surgery Center, our veterinary team takes every precaution to ensure your pet’s safety before, during, and after surgery. The procedure begins with a thorough examination to confirm the need for surgery. Once your pet is under anesthesia, we perform the surgery with precision and care.

After surgery, your pet will need time to rest and recover. We provide detailed post-operative care instructions, including guidance on monitoring for signs of discomfort, limiting activity, and ensuring proper wound healing. Most pets bounce back quickly with a little TLC, returning to their normal selves in no time.
