Our Surgical Process Is Safe And Effective

Every surgical procedure at Westgate Animal Hospital is carefully planned to prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort. Dr. Walia begins with the pre-operative bloodwork included in your surgery estimate to evaluate your pet’s health and ensure they are ready for anesthesia. An IV catheter is placed to deliver fluids and medications directly, supporting your pet throughout the procedure. Anesthesia is administered and closely monitored from start to finish to maintain your pet’s comfort and safety. 

Post-surgery, we provide comprehensive pain management to promote healing and minimize the risk of infection. Our high-quality protocols and compassionate staff will care for your fur baby as if they were our own, keeping you informed and your cat or dog supported.

Why Choose Surgery for Your Pet?

Surgical procedures can have a profound, positive impact on your pet’s life. A surgery can remove a painful mass. Soft-tissue surgery may also repair an injury or address a congenital condition. Most of all, pet surgery should be about restoring your fur baby’s quality of life.

By addressing health issues promptly, you can help your pet avoid further complications and enjoy a happier lifestyle. Dr. Walia will work closely with you to explain the procedure, expected outcomes, and post-operative care so that you feel confident in your decision. Our focus is always on delivering affordable care that supports both your pet’s recovery and long-term health.
