1. Spaying and Neutering for Long-Term Health
Spaying and neutering are among the most common and beneficial surgeries for dogs and cats. These procedures prevent unwanted litters, reduce the risk of certain cancers, and can help minimize unwanted behaviours. They also support population control in communities across Toronto.
2. Dental Surgery to Treat Pain and Infection
Dental disease is incredibly common in pets. When tooth extractions or deep cleaning beneath the gumline are necessary, dental surgery can relieve pain, remove infection, and protect your pet's overall health. Our team uses dental X-rays, gentle handling, and pain control to ensure a comfortable experience.
3. Lump Removal and Biopsy for Peace of Mind
Lumps and bumps are common, especially in older pets. Some are benign, while others require closer attention. Surgical removal or biopsy helps us determine the cause and choose the appropriate treatment. Early evaluation is always best.
4. Gastrointestinal Surgery for Emergencies or Foreign Objects
Pets are naturally curious, which sometimes leads to them swallowing items that should not be in their stomach or intestines. Gastrointestinal surgery allows us to remove foreign objects and address blockages. It can also be necessary for conditions like twisted stomach or intestinal disease.
5. Orthopedic Surgery to Support Mobility
Orthopedic procedures help pets with joint injuries, ligament tears, and certain congenital conditions. These surgeries can restore mobility, reduce pain, and help pets return to a more active and comfortable life. Many orthopedic procedures can be performed at Upper Village Veterinary Hospital, and when advanced care is needed, our team collaborates closely with specialized surgeons to ensure the best possible outcome for your pet.
6. Soft Tissue Surgery for Common Medical Concerns
Soft tissue procedures include surgeries such as bladder stone removal, hernia repair, and mass excision, among others. These surgeries are often essential for preventing discomfort, infection, or long-term complications.
7. Emergency Surgery When Timely Care Matters Most
Unexpected emergencies can happen at any time. Having a trusted veterinary team means you have support when your pet needs immediate care. Whether it is internal bleeding, trauma, or another life-threatening condition, timely surgery can be life-saving. At Upper Village Veterinary Hospital, we always triage patients and provide urgent care when emergencies arise.
