Veterinary Surgery
At LazyPaw Animal Hospitals, we believe in providing the utmost care for your pet.
Why would my pet need surgery?
Just like people, your pets may need to have a surgical procedure to allow them to live healthy and happy lives free from disease or health problems. While it is always important to consider all treatment possibilities, sometimes surgery is the only option to treat the problem that your pet is experiencing. Surgeries can be required if your pet needs to be spayed or neutered, has a medical condition such as cancer, urinary stones or serious injury due to trauma. It may also occur if your dog or cat got into something they shouldn’t have, maybe your Lab ate the laundry or the cat ate some dental floss, a situation we refer to as a “foreign body”. This is relatively common with both cats and dogs and, without immediate surgical treatment the situation can become life threatening. Here is the complete Frisco animal surgery information.

How are the procedures preformed?
Dr. Hunter, our Frisco Veterinarian, performs most of our surgeries that are more complicated than a simple spay or neuter. With extensive experience in soft tissue surgery, Dr. Hunter is uniquely qualified to perform surgeries on all types of small animals regularly seen in the practice. Although Dr. Hunter performs the surgeries the entire approach is team based, with emphasis on treating the entire pet before, during and after the procedure.
What happens afterward?
Our attention to your pet doesn’t stop after the surgery is complete. We may require that the pet remains in our care to ensure that there are no post procedure complications. We will be sending your pet home with an ecollar that is designed to stop them from licking and biting at the surgical site, reducing the chance of infection and problems with the stitches or staples being pulled out. In addition we also focus in on pain management and will make every effort to mitigate any post surgical discomfort that your pet may experience.
Before taking your pet home we will meet with you to discuss any concerns you have and also to provide information on post operative care in the home. We will also let you know when and if we need to see the pet again to remove stitches or staples and to give them a clean bill of health. To find out more about our surgical services give us a call, we are always happy to share information and to schedule an appointment.

She makes my dog and I feel comfortable and her joy and positivity really do light up a room. The staff is very knowledgeable and I know my dog is always in good hands at LazyPaw. I highly recommend this place. Jason MorganJanuary 3, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you're looking for the best care possible for your pet, you won't find a better place than LazyPaw. Because I'm a disabled veteran, I rely heavily on my service dog on a daily basis so I need my dog to be healthy and reliable. Not only do they provide excellent care at a very nice facility, but their friendly staff and their veterinarians have gone out of their way on several occasions when my dog became very ill and have even stayed open late on a weekend to help me get my documents in order to take my dog out of the country. I have also seen LazyPaw at many events because they believe in being a part of their community and helping others. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. If you love your dog as much as I love mine, then I wouldn't see why you would even consider going anywhere else than LazyPaw.

Dr. Lenz has been my veterinarian for the past six years, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I have two poodles, now 14 and 15, and she has provided them with exceptional care every step of the way. We’ve been through some very challenging times, but Dr. Lenz’s dedication, compassion, and expertise have always pulled us through. It’s clear she is in this profession for all the right reasons - she genuinely cares. I truly can’t imagine a better veterinarian to entrust with my pets’ health. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your animals like her own, Dr. Lenz is the one. Highly recommend! tj thompsonOctober 30, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Been with this veterinarian many years! Always very satisfied T!
