What is General Veterinary Surgery?
General veterinary surgery encompasses a wide range of routine and specialized procedures to address health issues in dogs. At Walker Canine Care, we perform everything from spaying and neutering to tumor removals, wound repairs, and orthopedic procedures. These surgeries are critical for maintaining your dog’s health, preventing future complications, and enhancing their overall quality of life.
Common Surgical Procedures for Dogs:
At our Anderson, SC clinic, we offer a variety of dog surgeries, including:
- Spaying and neutering to prevent unwanted litters and reduce the risk of certain cancers.
- Tumor and mass removal to address growths that could impact your dog’s health.
- Laceration repair for injuries sustained during accidents or play.
- Foreign body removal for items ingested by curious pups.
- Orthopedic surgeries, such as Arthrex Tightrope CCL stabilization, to restore mobility and comfort.
Our skilled team uses advanced techniques, including a surgical laser, to ensure precise incisions, reduced bleeding, and faster recovery times.

Signs Your Dog Might Need Surgery:
Recognizing when your dog may need surgery is vital. Common signs include:
- Lameness or difficulty moving.
- Abnormal swelling or visible masses.
- Changes in appetite or bowel habits.
- Bleeding wounds or visible injuries.
If you notice any of these signs, schedule an evaluation with Dr. Walker to determine the best course of action.
Cost of Veterinary Surgery:
The veterinary surgery cost depends on factors such as the procedure’s complexity, your dog’s condition, and pre-operative care requirements. At Walker Canine Care, we offer transparent pricing and personalized treatment plans to fit your budget while ensuring top-quality care.
What to Expect During and After Canine Surgery:
Routine surgeries, such as spaying and neutering, typically take 30 to 60 minutes, while more complex procedures may require additional time. After surgery, our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including pain management strategies and guidelines to ensure a smooth recovery.
Advanced Anesthesia and Pain Management
Safety and comfort are at the heart of every surgery we perform. We utilize a combination of sedatives and injectable anesthetics tailored to your dog’s unique health profile. Our use of surgical lasers not only ensures precision but also minimizes pain and promotes quicker healing.
Minimally Invasive Options for Surgery
Certain procedures can be performed using minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy for abdominal surgeries and arthroscopy for joint issues. These methods result in smaller incisions, reduced discomfort, and faster recovery for your dog.
Post-Surgery Care for Dogs
To prevent your dog from licking or scratching the surgical site, we recommend using an Elizabethan collar (cone). Keeping your dog calm and monitoring the incision for signs of complications are also essential steps in the recovery process.
Recognizing Post-Surgery Complications:
While complications are rare, it’s important to monitor for:
- Excessive bleeding or swelling.
- Redness or discharge from the incision.
- Lethargy or signs of pain.
If you notice any of these symptoms, contact us immediately for guidance.
