Surgery can play an important role in protecting your dog or cat's health, relieving pain, and improving their quality of life. Whether they require a routine procedure or a more advanced operation, our team is committed to providing compassionate care and clear communication every step of the way.
At Westend Veterinary Hospital, our focus is on patient safety, pain management, and employing the most current surgical practices. We always aim to exceed your expectations and put your concerns to rest.
That's why we take the time to explain our recommendations, answer your questions, and ensure you feel informed and comfortable with your pet's treatment plan.

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.
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:
Soft tissue surgery covers a range of ear, nose, and throat procedures as well as mass removals and treatment of flesh wounds. Almost all surgical procedures not covered under the heading of orthopedic surgery may be considered soft tissue surgery.
Soft tissue surgery also includes procedures for hepatic, urogenital, oncological, cardiothoracic, gastrointestinal, and skin disorders.
Spaying and neutering are very common surgical procedures performed to sterilize pets, prevent disease, and provide dogs and cats with an extended life expectancy.
Ocular surgery is performed to treat eye conditions in dogs and cats. Common ocular surgeries include eyelid tumour removal, ectropion surgery, entropion surgery, and exenteration of the orbit.
Masses can also grow on or just under the skin or inside a body cavity. While some masses may be removed for aesthetic purposes, other masses can be serious or even life-threatening.
Sometimes, foreign objects are ingested by pets and become stuck inside a cat's or dog's body. Whether your pet has eaten an object they shouldn't have or an accident has left them injured, we can perform foreign body surgery to remove it.
Wounds occur when living tissue has been cut, broken, burnt, torn, or otherwise damaged. It's imperative that these wounds be cleaned, disinfected, and appropriately cared for by a qualified veterinarian as soon as possible in order to avoid infection and other complications.
Orthopedic surgeries correct injuries and conditions of the bones, ligaments, joints, tendons, and other skeletal structures in your pet.
When needed, we can arrange for an orthopedic surgeon to perform orthopedic procedures at our hospital, including common surgeries such as TPLO and FHO.
Our veterinarians provide dental surgeries to relieve pain and restore good oral health to dogs and cats. These surgeries can range from tooth extractions to gum disease treatment and jaw fracture repairs.
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.
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.
