veterinary surgery

Pet medical procedures

Veterinary surgery is the branch of medicine concerned with surgical procedures on animals.

The term covers both the field of practice and specific operations: The dog needs veterinary surgery to remove the tumor.

In British usage, a veterinary surgery is also the office or clinic where a veterinarian sees patients—what Americans call a vet's office.
