Which surgeries happen at Petfolk Peachtree Corners?

The team handles the procedures most family pets need at some point:

• Removing skin lumps, fatty masses and growths

• Cleaning and closing bite wounds and deep cuts

• Spay and neuter surgery

• Tooth extractions as part of dental care

• Small procedures such as draining an abscess

If your pet needs a specialist, such as for complex bone or spine surgery, the vet will say so and help you find the right referral.

Should a new lump be removed?

Not always, but every new lump deserves a look. Across Petfolk, lumps and masses are the most common reason for dog surgery once spays, neuters and dental work are set aside: more than a third of those surgeries (38%) between Oct 1, 2025 and Sep 30, 2026. About 7 in 10 surgery patients in that window were dogs.

At the exam, the vet may take a few cells with a small needle to learn what the lump is. Lumps that grow fast, change shape, bleed or bother your pet are usually removed. Removed tissue can go to an outside lab, so you know whether more care is needed.

My 11 year old pittie had a 7 pound mass removed from her side today.

How do I get my pet ready for surgery day?

1. Follow the food and water instructions the team gives you, usually no breakfast that morning.

2. Ask about blood work before anesthesia. It checks the liver and kidneys, which process the drugs. See blood work and lab testing in Peachtree Corners.

3. Give a short walk before you come, so your dog can go to the bathroom.

4. Bring a list of any medicines and supplements your pet takes.

5. Set up a quiet room at home with a soft bed, away from stairs and other pets.

You'll get an estimate before any test or treatment. The final bill can differ if the plan changes during the visit, for example if the vet finds a second lump.

Watching through the glass

The Peachtree Corners clinic was built with large glass panels that let pet parents see procedures happen. Many people find that seeing the team at work takes away some of the worry. Fear Free handling is standard at every Petfolk clinic, so your pet is calmed gently before anesthesia and watched closely while waking up.

First nights home

Expect your pet to be sleepy the evening after surgery. A small meal and water are usually fine once they are home, unless the team says otherwise. Keep the cone or recovery shirt on, because licking opens stitches and brings infection. Short leash walks only until the recheck, so skip the off-leash area at Pinckneyville Park for now. Give pain medicine exactly as labeled, and never add a human pain reliever.

Check the incision twice a day in good light. A little pinkness at the edges is normal for the first few days; spreading redness or a gap is not. A quick phone photo each day makes changes easy to compare.

When to get help fast

Call the clinic the same day if the incision is red, swollen or leaking, or your pet won't eat by the next day. Heavy bleeding, pale gums, collapse or labored breathing needs a 24-hour emergency hospital, such as Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) in Brookhaven.
