Comprehensive Surgical Solutions
When your pet needs surgery, you want a team you can trust — one that brings both advanced surgical expertise and genuine care to every procedure. At Island Veterinary Hospital, we perform a wide range of surgical services for dogs, cats, and small companion animals, from routine procedures to complex interventions. Whatever your pet needs, we’re equipped to handle it with precision and compassion.
Care and Comfort, Start to Finish
Surgery can be stressful for your pet and for you. At Island Veterinary Hospital, we believe that clear communication and thorough preparation make all the difference. Before any procedure, we conduct a comprehensive pre-operative assessment and diagnostics and tailor both the anesthetic protocol and pain management plan to your pet’s individual needs. During surgery, your pet’s vital signs are closely monitored throughout to ensure their safety and comfort at every stage.
Once the procedure is complete, we’ll contact you with an update and walk you through detailed post-operative care instructions before your pet goes home. We’ll also schedule follow-up appointments to monitor their recovery and address any questions along the way. Your pet’s healing doesn’t stop when they leave our hospital — and neither does our support.
Surgical Services We Offer
Island Veterinary Hospital provides a comprehensive range of surgical procedures, including:
Spay & Neuter
Routine spay and neuter procedures are among the most common surgeries we perform. Beyond preventing unwanted litters, these procedures offer significant long-term health benefits for your pet.
Soft Tissue Surgery
Our soft tissue surgical services address conditions involving the skin, muscles, internal organs, and more. Common procedures include mass and tumor removals, foreign body removals, wound repair, abdominal exploratory surgery, and bladder stone removal.
Orthopedic Surgery
For pets dealing with bone, joint, or ligament conditions, we offer orthopedic surgical solutions including cruciate ligament repair, femoral head ostectomy (FHO), luxating patella repair, and fracture repair.
Respiratory & Brachycephalic Surgery
We provide surgical treatment for respiratory conditions, including procedures to improve airway function in brachycephalic breeds — dogs and cats with shortened muzzles who are prone to breathing difficulties.
Eye Surgery
Our surgical capabilities extend to ophthalmic procedures for pets with eye conditions that require surgical intervention.
Surgical Laser
Our CO2 surgical laser allows us to perform many soft tissue procedures with greater precision and less bleeding, swelling, and discomfort for your pet. We commonly use this advanced technology during spays, neuters, and other soft tissue surgeries to help support a smoother recovery and improved comfort after surgery.
