Bladder Surgery (Cystotomy) for Pets in the Cleveland Area
Lakeland Veterinary Clinic in the Cleveland Area offers expert bladder surgery, also known as cystotomy, to treat pets suffering from bladder stones and other urinary issues. This common procedure is often necessary when stones are too large or numerous to dissolve with diet alone, or when they pose a risk of urinary blockage.
A cystotomy involves surgically opening the bladder to remove stones, tissue masses, or foreign objects that may be causing pain, infection, or obstruction. Our skilled surgical team performs this procedure with precision, using advanced monitoring and sterile technique to ensure your pet’s safety and a smooth recovery.
Prior to surgery, we perform diagnostic imaging—such as X-rays or ultrasound—and lab work to confirm the need for surgical intervention and evaluate your pet’s overall health. After surgery, most pets recover quickly with supportive care, pain management, and a customized at-home recovery plan. We also provide guidance to help prevent recurrence through diet and follow-up monitoring.
If your pet is showing signs of urinary discomfort, such as straining, frequent urination, or blood in the urine, bladder surgery may be necessary. Lakeland Veterinary Clinic proudly serves the Cleveland Area with compassionate, expert care for pets in need of cystotomy. Schedule an exam today to explore treatment options and get your pet back on the path to wellness.
