Veterinary Surgery for Cats and Dogs
We offer a wide range of veterinary surgical procedures for cats and dogs at our Los Angeles County clinic, using stringent surgical protocols.
In the course of each pet surgery, a dedicated member of our veterinary team with administer anesthesia and continuously monitor your pet using electronic patient monitoring equipment. We will also provide pain management throughout.
Post-operative monitoring and pain management are our priorities following surgery. Your vet will also provide thorough instructions for at-home care.
What to Expect from Vet Surgery
Our vets will always keep you fully informed about why we are recommending a given surgical procedure as well as what pre - or post - operative care your pet will require before and after their surgery. We always practice stringent surgical safety protocols at our hospital.
Surgical Procedures
At Animal Hospital of Redondo Beach, we perform medical and emergency veterinary surgeries to help treat disease and conditions in pets or to repair injuries sustained through trauma.
Our Los Angeles County vets routinely perform the following elective and non-elective surgeries:
- Soft Tissue Surgery
For pets suffering from ear, nose, and throat disorders, we offer soft tissue surgical procedures.
These procedures are also available for hepatic, urogenital, oncological, cardiothoracic, gastrointestinal, and skin disorders.
- Spaying & Neutering
When we neuter or spay a dog or cat, we are surgically sterilizing them in order to prevent disease and provide them with an extended life expectancy.
- Mass Removal
Dogs and cats can develop masses that are associated with their skin relatively frequently. Masses may also grow inside their body cavity and may be serious or even life-threatening.
Mass removal surgery is a fairly common procedure for both cats and dogs.
- Wounds
A wound occurs when living tissue has been broken, burnt, torn, cut, or otherwise damaged.
It's critical that these wounds be cleaned, disinfected and appropriately cared for by a qualified vet as soon as possible.
- Dental Surgery
Our veterinarians provide pet dental surgeries for dogs and cats. These surgeries can range from tooth extractions to gum disease treatment and jaw fracture repairs.
The Surgery Process
We know that the prospect of bringing your pet in for surgery can be a frightening one. Rest assured, however, that we recommend surgery only when it is in the best interests of your beloved companion.
We will make sure that you completely understand why we are recommending a given surgery. We will also take time to discuss it in detail with you and make sure that you are comfortable with making the choice to move ahead.
If your pet requires advanced care, our vets will refer you to a veterinary surgeon near Los Angeles County, and work closely with your vet surgeon to ensure that your pet receives the best possible care.
Surgical protocols at our clinic include:
Pre-surgical assessments. We will check and double check to confirm he specifics of the procedure, complete a physical exam of our patient and make sure that blood tests have been completed and reviewed to make sure your pet doesn't face any risk of anesthesia-related complications.
Dedicated surgical suites. Surgeries are performed in a dedicated surgical suite. This room is kept completely sterile to prevent infection and cross-contamination.
Surgical attire. Our staff wear disposable caps and masks at all times when they are in the surgical suite. Those involved in the procedure itself will also wear sterile gowns and single-use gloves.
