Pet Surgery
At Riverside South Animal Hospital, we provide safe and professional veterinary surgery for pets in Ottawa, Riverside South, and beyond. From routine procedures to more advanced operations, our team ensures every patient receives expert care, thorough monitoring, and compassionate pain management.
What Is Veterinary Surgery?
Veterinary surgery involves medical procedures performed under general anesthesia to correct or treat a condition. These may include routine operations like spays and neuters, or more complex procedures such as mass removals, bladder stone surgeries, or emergency wound repairs.
Our clinic is fully equipped with a surgical suite, monitoring equipment, and IV fluid support to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort during every procedure. Our veterinary team is fully trained in up-to-date techniques to ensure your pet’s comfort, safety, and care throughout their stay — from drop-off to discharge.
