Depending on your pet's medical concerns, surgery may be the best course of action to keep them healthy. There are a variety of reasons why your pet may need surgery, such as:
Blockages: If your pet swallows something that they shouldn't and develops a blockage, they may require surgery to remove it. Your pet should be seen by a veterinarian immediately if he/she is unable to urinate. Urinary tract calculi are the most common cause of urethral obstruction in dogs, anything that causes stone formation will increase the risk of urethral blockage (see urinary stones).
Cancer: While not necessary for all types of cancer, surgery may be beneficial for the removal of some or all of your pet's cancerous tumors.
Injuries: If your pet breaks a bone or has a serious wound, they may require surgery for reconstruction or repair.
Tooth decay: Severe tooth decay or gum disease may require the surgical removal of some or all of your pet's teeth.
