Goat Mastectomies
A goat mastectomy is a specialized surgical procedure performed by one of our expert goat veterinarians. This surgery involves the removal of one or both mammary glands and is typically indicated in cases of severe mastitis, abscesses, or tumors. During a goat mastectomy, our veterinarian will make an incision around the affected mammary gland to remove the tissue. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia to minimize discomfort and stress for your goat.
Does Your Goat Need A Mastectomy?
Goat mastectomies can significantly improve the quality of life for goats suffering from the following conditions, preventing further health issues and promoting overall well-being. If your goat has one of the following conditions, or you suspect they do, contact us for a consultation.
- Severe Mastitis: Chronic or severe mastitis that does not respond to medical treatment may necessitate the removal of the affected gland to prevent further health complications.
- Abscesses: Persistent or recurring abscesses in the mammary tissue can be a reason for considering a mastectomy.
- Tumors: The presence of benign or malignant tumors in the mammary glands may require surgical intervention to remove the affected tissue and prevent the spread of disease.
