Surgical Conditions

  • An intussusception is a condition where part of the intestine slides into another part of the gastrointestinal tract. It causes signs similar to intestinal obstruction, including poor appetite and vomiting. Some cases can be life-threatening. Although some non-surgical techniques may correct the problem, most cases require surgery and intensive care for a good outcome.

  • Juvenile pubic symphysiodesis (JPS) is a preventive surgery for puppies at risk of hip dysplasia. It alters pelvic growth to improve hip socket fit, helping stabilize the joints and reduce future arthritis.
