Veterinary Soft Tissue Surgery in Mohali
Soft tissue surgery is surgical care for pets that does not involve bones or joints. If your veterinarian has suggested surgery for your pet, or you would like a second opinion, the team at GreenCoatVets in Mohali can assess your pet, explain the options and guide you through each stage of care.
Surgery is not always the first or only answer. Every case begins with an examination and, where needed, diagnostic testing, so that any recommendation is based on what your pet actually needs.

What Is Soft Tissue Surgery in Pets?
Veterinary surgery is often divided into orthopedic surgery, which deals with bones, joints and ligaments, and soft tissue surgery, which deals with other parts of the body. For fractures and joint problems, please see our orthopedic surgery service. Sterilisation procedures are described on our spay and neuter page.

What a Surgical Assessment Involves
Each recommendation is based on your pet’s condition and needs. Your veterinarian will explain the findings and discuss the next steps with you.
Diagnostic work-up
Before recommending surgery, the veterinarian may advise diagnostic tests to understand the condition and check that your pet is fit for an anaesthetic. These are available through our veterinary diagnostics service.
Discussing the options
Where surgery is recommended, the veterinarian will explain what the procedure aims to achieve, the alternatives, the possible risks and what recovery will involve. Where surgery is not necessary, you will be told that too.
Before the procedure
Preparing for Surgery
Your veterinarian will give specific instructions for your pet. These commonly include fasting before the procedure, informing the team about any medicines your pet is taking, and arranging a calm, quiet space at home for recovery. Please follow the instructions you are given, as they are set for your pet’s safety.
Every surgery and anaesthetic carries some risk, and the veterinarian will discuss this with you before going ahead.
A useful reminder
Follow your pet’s specific instructions
Preparation can vary depending on your pet and the planned procedure. If anything is unclear before the appointment, contact our team to check.

Recovery and Aftercare
Good aftercare is an important part of a successful recovery. Your veterinarian will explain what applies to your pet, which typically includes:
- Restricting activity and giving your pet a quiet place to rest
- Keeping the surgical site clean and dry, and preventing licking or chewing as advised
- Giving medication only as prescribed
- Attending follow-up visits so the wound and recovery can be checked
Recovery is part of the care plan
Follow the veterinary team’s advice and attend any recommended follow-up visits.
