Fruitland Veterinary Hospital provides veterinary surgery in Stoney Creek, ON, for dogs, cats, and select exotic pets, including spay and neuter procedures, mass removals, abdominal surgery, emergency surgery, C-sections, and enucleation when medically needed. Our team focuses on careful planning, clear communication, and attentive recovery support.
Surgical Care With Clear Communication
Surgery can feel stressful for pet owners, which is why our veterinarians take time to explain the reason for the procedure, expected benefits, potential risks, and aftercare needs. At Fruitland Veterinary Hospital, surgical recommendations are based on your pet’s health, comfort, and quality of life, with attention to safety before, during, and after the procedure.
Planned Procedures
Spay, neuter, mass removal, and other scheduled surgeries help prevent health concerns, treat disease, or improve comfort.
Urgent Needs
Emergency surgery may be recommended for conditions such as foreign body obstruction, C-section, or abdominal concerns.
What to Expect Before and After Surgery
Before surgery, our team will review your pet’s health history, discuss the procedure, and provide preparation instructions. Depending on the surgery, diagnostics such as bloodwork or imaging may be recommended to help guide care. After the procedure, you’ll receive recovery instructions covering activity restriction, medication, incision monitoring, and signs that should prompt a follow-up call. Our goal is to help your pet recover as comfortably and safely as possible.
Surgical Services We Provide
Our veterinarians perform a range of soft tissue and medically necessary surgical procedures. If your pet needs surgery, our team will discuss what is recommended, why it matters, and what to expect throughout the process.
Spay & Neuter Surgery
Sterilization procedures help prevent unwanted pregnancies and may reduce certain reproductive health risks in dogs and cats.
Mass Removal
Abdominal Surgery
Abdominal procedures may be needed for internal concerns that require surgical evaluation or treatment.
Foreign Body Surgery
If a pet swallows an object that cannot pass safely, emergency surgery may be needed to remove the obstruction.
C-Section
A C-section may be recommended when a pet is unable to deliver safely without surgical support.
Enucleation
Enucleation, or eye removal, may be recommended when an eye is painful, severely damaged, or no longer functional.
Laceration Repair
Cuts and wounds may require surgical repair to reduce infection risk and support proper healing.
