🔹 Common Dog Soft Tissue Surgeries:

Often done alongside soft palate surgery to enhance breathing comfort. - Tumor & Lump Removal:
For benign and malignant growths, ensuring clean margins and minimal recurrence. - Wound & Abscess Repair:
For injuries, bites, or trauma cases requiring sutures or reconstructive care. - Hernia Repair (Umbilical / Perineal):
Corrects hernias safely with minimal downtime.
Abdominal & Gastrointestinal Surgery:
Includes foreign body removal, bladder stone extraction, and intestinal obstruction repair.
