Expert Foreign Body Surgery for Pets in Corpus Christi
Pets, especially curious ones, are prone to swallowing objects they shouldn't, leading to potentially dangerous blockages or injuries in the digestive tract. At South Texas Veterinary Urgent Care in Corpus Christi, TX, we specialize in foreign body surgery to safely remove ingested items and prevent further complications. Our experienced team is here to provide prompt, professional care to help your pet recover quickly.
If your pet has swallowed a foreign object, it’s essential to act quickly. Symptoms such as vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, or lethargy may indicate the presence of a foreign body. We begin by conducting a thorough examination, including X-rays or ultrasounds, to locate the object. Once identified, we perform surgery to carefully remove the foreign body and prevent any damage to your pet's internal organs.
Foreign body surgery is often performed with minimal risks, and our team takes every precaution to ensure your pet’s safety during the procedure. Post-surgery care may include pain management, antibiotics to prevent infection, and a monitored recovery period. Most pets recover quickly and can resume normal activities after a brief rest period.
If your pet has swallowed something dangerous, don’t wait to seek help. Call South Texas Veterinary Urgent Care at (361) 833-6022 or visit our clinic in Corpus Christi, TX.
