Pet Cryosurgery

Pet Cryosurgery

Hayward Animal Clinic offers Cryosurgery for pets to remove unwanted skin growths or masses. A simple, quick, and efficient way to remove small, benign skin growths.

Our trained Veterinarian and staff use the Cryo-Probe to offer this practical solution for dogs and cats. The Cryo-Probe delivers precise and effective freezing treatments to eliminate small growths, usually without complete anesthesia. Minor sedation may be needed depending on the pet and the mass’s location.

Depending on the size of the mass, most will diminish and fall off within 2-3 weeks. Some discoloration is normal. Some masses do require multiple treatments.

Cryosurgery is often less than a regular surgical procedure and offers limited side effects. Most treatments are performed during routine office visits.
