Soft Tissue Surgery
At Stine Veterinary Hospital, our vets provide a range of veterinary soft tissue surgery procedures to treat health issues in Bakersfield cats and dogs.
Surgical Procedures
Veterinary soft tissue surgery encompasses most surgical procedures that are not in the sphere of orthopedic surgery.
Our vets offer soft tissue procedures for dogs and cats suffering from ear, nose and throat disorders, as well as cardiothoracic, hepatic, gastrointestinal, urogenital, skin and oncological disorders.
If your pet requires surgery that our veterinary clinic does not offer, we will refer you to a veterinary surgeon in the Bakersfield area.

Common Soft Tissue Surgeries at Stine Veterinary Hospital
Here are some of the soft tissue surgeries commonly performed on cats and dogs at our clinic in Bakersfield:
C-Sections
Cesarean sections, commonly referred to as C-sections, are surgical procedures to remove unborn puppies or kittens from a dog or cat. This procedure is often necessary in emergencies such as obstructed labor, fetal distress, or other complications that may arise during delivery. The recovery from a C-section is usually quite quick, and complications are rare.
Entropion Surgery
Entropion is a genetic condition in which a dog's eyelids turn inward, causing the eyelashes and skin to rub against the surface of the eye. Entropion surgery corrects this issue by removing a small section of skin to adjust the position of the eyelid and stop it from rolling inward. In some cases, two surgeries may be needed to prevent overcorrection.
