Skilled Surgical Care for Dogs & Cats in Omaha
When your pet needs surgery, you want a team you can trust completely. At Rockbrook Animal Clinic, our experienced veterinary surgeons have been performing a full range of soft tissue and orthopedic procedures for Omaha pet families for over 25 years. Every surgery, from routine to complex, is carried out with rigorous attention to patient safety, modern anesthesia protocols, and thorough pain management before, during, and after the procedure.
Our Approach to Surgical Care
Surgery can be a stressful experience for pet owners, and we take that seriously. From your first consultation through to your pet's final follow-up appointment, our team keeps you informed, answers your questions honestly, and ensures you feel confident in every decision made along the way.
Before any procedure, your pet receives a comprehensive pre-surgical physical examination and pre-anesthetic bloodwork to confirm they are a safe candidate for anesthesia. We use modern monitoring equipment throughout every surgery to track vital signs continuously, and every patient receives an individualized pain management plan that carries through from pre-operative preparation into their recovery at home.
Soft Tissue Surgery
Soft tissue surgery covers a broad range of procedures involving the internal organs, skin, and other non-bony structures of the body. Our team is experienced in a wide variety of soft tissue procedures performed right here at our Omaha clinic, including:
Mass and Tumor Removals
Surgical removal of lumps, growths, and tumors from the skin or underlying tissues. Early removal is often the most effective way to prevent spread and confirm a diagnosis through pathology.
1
Wound Repair and Laceration Management
Treatment of cuts, tears, and traumatic injuries that require surgical closure or reconstructive care to heal properly and minimize the risk of infection.
2
Gastrointestinal Procedures
Surgery to address conditions affecting the stomach and intestines, including foreign body removal, intestinal obstructions, and other digestive emergencies.
3
Bladder and Urinary Tract Surgery
Procedures to remove bladder stones, address urinary blockages, or correct structural abnormalities affecting normal urinary function.
4
Spay and Neuter Procedures
Routine reproductive surgeries that also deliver significant long-term health benefits for both male and female pets.
5
ACL & Patellar Surgery
Cruciate ligament injuries and patellar luxation are among the most common orthopedic conditions seen in dogs. A torn ACL can cause significant pain, lameness, and long-term joint damage if left untreated, while patellar luxation, where the kneecap slips out of its normal position, can significantly affect your dog's mobility and comfort over time.
Our team evaluates each patient individually to determine the most appropriate surgical approach based on the size, age, breed, and overall health of your dog. Signs that may indicate your dog needs evaluation include:
- Sudden or gradual hind leg lameness
- Reluctance to bear weight on one or both rear legs
- Stiffness after rest or exercise
- Swelling around the knee joint
Ear Surgery
Chronic ear disease is a painful and frustrating condition for many dogs and cats, particularly those prone to recurring infections or structural problems. When medical management is no longer providing adequate relief, surgical intervention may be the most effective path to lasting comfort.
We perform ear surgeries including lateral ear canal resection and total ear canal ablation (TECA) for patients with severe or end-stage ear disease. These procedures can dramatically improve quality of life for pets who have struggled with chronic ear pain and infection. Our team will thoroughly evaluate your pet's ear health and discuss all available options before recommending any surgical approach.
Post-Surgical Recovery & Follow-Up
Most pets are able to return home the same day as their procedure. Before discharge, our team will walk you through all aftercare instructions in detail, including activity restrictions, wound care, medications, and what signs to watch for during recovery. We are always available by phone if you have questions between appointments.
Schedule a Surgical Consultation for Your Pet
If your pet has been recommended for surgery or you have concerns about a condition that may require surgical treatment, we encourage you to call us and schedule a consultation. Our team will examine your pet thoroughly, explain your options clearly, and help you feel confident every step of the way.
