Make Surgery You Pet Will Be Going Under A Quality Veterinary Laser

By Tanisha Berg


You will want to spare your pet as much discomfort as possible. Veterinary laser treatment is a much more efficient and less evasive way of doing an operation. With this there will be very little blood loss and the pain will not be so intense. The beam can burn and cut as well as destroy any tissue that is foreign inside a body.

Depending on what animal you have as a pet some may get Bumblefoot. This is mainly found on the feet of birds and rodents. This includes hamsters, rats and mice as well. This is caused as a result of there always being pressure between the bones and the soft tissue. In extreme cases the tissue can eventually die causing inflammation.

When using lasers it makes the procedure much simpler and because it seals off all blood cells the area is much clearer which makes it easier for the surgeon to see what he is doing. The light or beam can be made smaller or larger depending on what needs to be seen. It can then be easier to remove both large and small tissue quickly.

Getting a bachelors degree is the next step. UPenn in Pennsylvania or Cornell in New York will be excellent choices. As not all offer the same courses you will need to do well in what they do offer. Unfortunately there are not many of these schools as there are medical, so your application will need to be that much better than the others applying . During your weekends and holidays find volunteer work.

This is used in the removal of Fibrosarcoma in cats and dogs. It is a form of cancer of the connective tissues and is fairly common. These can be seen anywhere on the skin and even on the mouth. If you pet has had a previous vaccine these can occur on these sites. Radiation treatment is advised to help prevent them coming back.

Another disease that benefits from this kind of surgery in horses is when they develop severe Guttural Pouch. This is a little sac of air that is attached to the Eustachian tube. They are lined with a very thin membrane and major arteries go to the head as well as nerves running into the body. If any bacteria gets in it can cause difficulty in eating and drinking as well as breathing. This will result in the cavity getting filled with pus. In very few cases these will harden into balls and the only way to remove them is with lasers.

In order for a vet to know if this is cancer or just a normal growth, he will need to take a biopsy with a very fine needle. The other way they do this is by taking blood tests and x-rays. In some instances a CT scan and MRI will be needed to see if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. As this is an aggressive disease there is a chance that it can spread into the bones as well.

The treatment has come a long way and there are some that are continuously looking to see if improvements can be made. The less trauma the animal has to endure the better. Life without them would simply be boring; they bring so much to each person.
