Splenectomy Surgery for Pets in Teaneck, NJ
A splenectomy is the surgical removal of the spleen, most often recommended when a pet develops a splenic mass, tumor, torsion (twisting), or significant trauma to the organ. At Bergen Veterinary Hospital, our surgical team performs splenectomies with the same care and precision you'd expect from a specialty surgical center, helping your pet recover safely and comfortably.
When Is a Splenectomy Needed?
Common signs that may point to a splenic problem include lethargy, pale gums, a distended abdomen, or sudden collapse — often related to internal bleeding from a ruptured mass. Because these cases can become emergencies quickly, prompt diagnosis and surgery are important. Our team will run the necessary diagnostics, discuss your pet's options with you clearly, and guide you through surgery, hospitalization, and recovery.
