4. Orthopedic Surgeries: These may include procedures such as cruciate ligament repair, hip or elbow dysplasia surgery, or fracture repairs.

7. Eye Surgeries: Cataract removal, entropion or ectropion correction, and cherry eye repair are some examples of eye surgeries in dogs.

8. Caesarian Section: In cases where a dog is unable to give birth naturally, a C-section is performed to deliver the puppies safely.
