Certain eye conditions can affect your pet’s comfort and vision. At Lougheed Animal Hospital, we perform various ocular procedures including cherry eye correction, entropion repair, eyelid lump removal, and enucleation when needed. Each case is assessed individually to determine the most appropriate course of action, with attention to pain control and healing. Post-operative monitoring is essential to help support a smoother recovery and protect remaining eye function.
Spaying involves the surgical removal of the ovaries and uterus in female pets to prevent heat cycles and unwanted litters. At Lougheed Animal Hospital, spay procedures are planned with consideration of your pet’s age, breed, and health status. Beyond reproductive control, spaying may also be discussed for medical reasons. We offer guidance on timing, recovery care, and what to expect post-surgery based on your pet’s individual profile.
Neutering is the surgical procedure to remove the testicles in male pets, often done to prevent unplanned breeding or manage hormone-driven behaviours. Lougheed Animal Hospital performs this procedure with careful pre-surgical assessment and post-operative instructions to support healing. We are available to discuss when neutering may be appropriate for your pet and how it may affect long-term health or behaviour in different life stages.
Soft tissue surgeries cover a wide range of procedures that don’t involve bones or joints. At Lougheed Animal Hospital, we perform surgeries such as mass removals, wound repairs, bladder stone removal, and gastrointestinal operations. Every case is approached with a focus on reducing discomfort and supporting recovery. We evaluate your pet’s condition and discuss the risks and expected outcomes before proceeding with any surgical treatment.
Orthopedic surgeries address bone, joint, or ligament concerns such as fractures, dislocations, or cruciate ligament injuries. At Lougheed Animal Hospital, some orthopedic procedures may be performed in-clinic, while others are referred to specialists depending on complexity. We provide post-surgical care, pain management, and rehabilitation guidance to help your pet regain function and mobility. Each treatment plan is designed with your pet’s comfort and activity level in mind.
For pet owners interested in planned breeding, Lougheed Animal Hospital offers artificial insemination services as part of reproductive planning. This procedure requires proper timing, health screening, and an understanding of genetic and breed-specific considerations. We guide you through the process step-by-step and ensure each part is carried out within ethical and medical standards, while supporting the health and welfare of both dam and sire.
A cesarean section may be necessary if complications arise during labour or if a pregnancy is considered high risk. At Lougheed Animal Hospital, we assess both the mother’s condition and the expected delivery process to determine if a surgical birth is appropriate. In such cases, we provide supportive care before, during, and after surgery, aiming to safeguard the health of both the mother and her newborns.
Dental surgery may be required for pets suffering from fractured teeth, abscesses, or severe gum disease. At Lougheed Animal Hospital, procedures like extractions or treatment of oral masses are done with attention to comfort and recovery. We evaluate your pet’s oral health and determine when surgery is the right step. Post-operative dental care is discussed to help prevent future complications and maintain overall wellness.
Tumour removal may be considered for growths that interfere with movement, cause discomfort, or show signs of malignancy. At Lougheed Animal Hospital, we assess each mass through examination and, when necessary, diagnostic testing before surgery is recommended. The procedure is tailored based on tumour size, location, and health status of your pet. Pathology may be advised post-removal to better understand the nature of the growth.
When internal issues are suspected but not confirmed through imaging or lab work, exploratory surgery may be advised. Lougheed Animal Hospital performs such procedures to identify obstructions, biopsies, or internal injuries that are not otherwise visible. The decision to proceed is made carefully, with discussions around benefits and possible findings. Follow-up care is arranged to support recovery and further treatment based on the results.
