Our veterinary team at Stratford Animal Hospital guides you and your pet through every step of the cancer surgery process, from initial evaluation to ongoing recovery and support.
Before surgery, our veterinarians perform a thorough physical examination and recommend diagnostic tests such as bloodwork, digital radiology, or ultrasound. These steps help us evaluate your pet’s overall health, determine the extent of the cancer, and plan the safest surgical approach possible.
