What is Mass Removal Surgery?
Mass removal surgery involves the surgical excision of a lump or mass from your pet’s body. These masses can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Regardless of the type, removing the mass can increase the quality of life of both you and your pet.
Benefits of Mass Removal Surgery:
Improved Diagnosis: A histopath, which involves sending the mass to IDEXX Laboratories for testing which can help us determine if the mass is cancerous. Early removal of cancerous masses can significantly improve your pet’s chances of a full recovery.
Pain Relief: Some masses can cause discomfort or interfere with movement, depending on the location and size of the mass. Removal can improve your pet’s quality of life.
Reduced Worry: Knowing the nature of the mass can help alleviate your anxieties and allow you to focus on your pet’s care.
