Surgery & Endoscopy

Various medical conditions and injuries require surgical intervention. At Main Line Urgent Vet, we offer a wide range of surgical procedures, including (but not limited to):

Exploratory surgery and foreign body removal
Cystotomy
Urethral obstruction relief
Pyometra treatment
Laceration and wound repair
Enucleation
Tail amputation

Endoscopy
Endoscopy uses a long, flexible tube with a tiny camera to view the inside of the body. In many cases, this technique allows us to safely remove swallowed foreign objects without the need for an invasive surgical procedure.

After surgery, your pet will be closely monitored by our medical team to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery. While we do not offer overnight hospitalization, the majority of surgeries and post-operative recovery can be safely managed within the same day at our facility. If extended monitoring or ongoing intensive care is needed, we will coordinate a seamless referral to a 24-hour emergency or specialty hospital for continued support.

End of Life Care

Making end-of-life decisions for your pet is incredibly difficult, and you don’t have to face it alone. Our compassionate team is here to provide gentle, respectful support and to ensure your pet’s final moments are peaceful and filled with love. We designed our Comfort Room to provide safety and support for even the most fragile pets, without the cold sterility of a typical hospital room. The space is intentionally created to feel like a cozy living room, offering warmth and comfort during your final moments together.

Outpatient Ultrasounds

We're excited to announce that Main Line Urgent Vet now offers specialty-level ultrasounds every Thursday with Dr. Robert Slater, a board-certified veterinary radiologist.

Ultrasound is a painless, non-invasive means of obtaining detailed images of internal structures, organs, and blood flow, as well as guide diagnostic tissue sampling, allowing for clearer diagnoses and more effective treatment options.
