Cryosurgery For Pets in El Paso Texas

If your dog has malignant tumors or itchy skin growths, he may be a good candidate for Cryosurgery, a quick and painless technique that can be a good alternative to therapies that can take a long time to recover from and carry major health risks.

Cryosurgery, often known as cryotherapy, is a minimally invasive procedure for treating abnormal or sick tissues in dogs, including skin tags, warts, infected or itchy sores, cysts, and malignant tumors.

Cryosurgery has been used to treat growths on the eyelids and skin, in the perianal area, and inside the mouth and nose. Cryosurgery is a highly successful alternative to therapies including traditional surgery, radiation, and amputation. Cryosurgery is an option for dog owners who believe that traditional methods are ineffective for their pet. Cryosurgery is an excellent option for older dogs and those with medical issues that prevent surgery because the operation and recovery are easy and rapid, and the side effects are minimal.

What Is Cryosurgery and How Does It Work?

The administration of cryogen, or liquid nitrogen, to the affected area is known as cryosurgery. The cryogen "freezes" the affected area, killing the aberrant cells and stopping their proliferation. The cryogen is given as a spray or by a cryoneedle, giving surgeons complete control over the treatment so that they may target the diseased area while preserving the surrounding skin. The frozen growth turns red and blisters fast. A scab forms and comes off after 2-3 weeks, showing healthy, lesion-free tissue in its place. Depending on the location of the growth and temperament of the dog, local or general anaesthetic may be required; however, in other circumstances, no anesthesia is required.

In many cases, cryosurgery eliminates tumors completely, often after just one treatment. Small warts and tumors seldom come back, while malignant oral and nasal tumors frequently go into remission after just one treatment. Cryosurgery can also be combined with regular surgery to improve overall results, target growths in hard-to-reach locations, and shorten recovery time.
