Surgery isn't going to be required for all of the health problems that your pet may face. However, there are some conditions for which surgery is the best possible course of action, such as:
Blockages: Your pet may develop a blockage and require surgery if they swallow something that they shouldn't have and it gets stuck.
Cancer: Depending on the severity of your pet's cancer, surgery may be necessary to remove some or all of their tumors.
Injuries: Pets with severe broken bounds or wounds may need surgery for reconstruction or repair.
Tooth decay: If your pet needs to have their teeth removed due to gum disease or tooth decay, dental surgery will be required.
