At Nonantum Veterinary Clinic, we know surgery can stir up some nerves, and not just for your pet. Whether it’s a planned procedure or something that came up suddenly, you deserve to feel confident and fully supported throughout the process. With over 40 years of hands-on experience in the Landenberg community, our surgical team combines technical excellence with heartfelt care every step of the way.
These common procedures offer more than population control; they can help reduce the risk of reproductive cancers, prevent behavioral issues, and contribute to long-term wellness. We perform these surgeries with care and a deep understanding of each pet’s needs.
Lumps and bumps aren’t always dangerous, but when they need to come off, we’re ready. Our surgical team handles soft tissue surgeries, including laceration repair and mass removals, with a steady hand and a focus on healing, comfort, and communication.
For active dogs dealing with cranial cruciate ligament injuries, TPLO surgery can restore comfort, stability, and mobility. This advanced orthopedic procedure is performed with careful planning, precision, and post-op support to help your dog return to pain-free movement.
We understand your concern, and we take every safety measure seriously. We use current anesthetic protocols, perform pre-surgical screenings, and monitor your pet continuously during surgery to ensure their safety and comfort.
We’ll provide a detailed recovery guide before you head home. In general, keep an eye out for swelling, discharge, loss of appetite, or behavior changes. If anything feels off, call us—we’d rather hear from you early than too late.
We recommend an e-collar or a recovery suit to protect the surgical site. It may take some adjustment, but preventing licking is key to avoiding infection and speeding up healing.
Sometimes, yes. If your pet may benefit from something like chiropractic care or laser therapy instead of—or alongside—surgery, we’ll talk you through all the options. We’ll never push for surgery if there’s a gentler, effective path.
Recovery times vary depending on the procedure. Most pets feel like themselves within 7–14 days for routine surgeries, while orthopedic cases like TPLO require a longer, structured recovery. We’ll guide you through it every step of the way.
