Pain Management During Surgical Care

Supporting your pet's comfort before, during, and after surgery with safe, effective pain management tailored to their individual needs.

At Westend Veterinary Hospital, we take a proactive approach to keeping pets comfortable throughout the surgical process. From pre-operative preparation through recovery, our team closely monitors each patient and tailors their care to support the best possible outcome.

Surgical Procedures

At Westend Veterinary Hospital, we perform elective and emergency surgeries to help treat diseases and conditions and to repair injuries sustained through trauma.

Our veterinarians in Orangeville may perform or refer the following elective and non-elective surgeries:

The Surgery Process

Before any surgery, we will complete a thorough pre-surgical assessment. This includes a physical examination of your pet as well as blood tests to determine if they face any risk of anesthesia-related complications.

During each surgery, a dedicated nurse will administer anesthesia and continuously monitor your pet using electronic patient monitoring equipment. Pain management will also be provided. 

Post-operative monitoring and pain management are our priorities following surgery. Your veterinarian will also provide thorough instructions for at-home care.

Sterilization Protocols

Surgical protocols at our hospital include dedicated surgical suites which are kept completely sterile to prevent infection and cross-contamination.

Our staff wear sterile attire at all times when they are in the surgical suite, and we carefully clean, sterilize and wrap our surgical instruments and equipment prior to every surgery.
