Veterinary Surgery in Orléans, ON
Crown Pointe Animal Hospital provides veterinary surgery for dogs and cats in Orléans. The clinic’s doctors perform soft-tissue procedures, including spays, neuters, and mass removals. Complex orthopedic procedures may be performed at the hospital by a travelling board-certified surgeon.
Surgical Care Tailored to Each Patient
Surgery may be recommended to prevent future health problems, remove abnormal tissue, repair an injury, or treat an existing medical condition. Crown Pointe’s doctors perform routine and medically necessary soft-tissue procedures, while a travelling board-certified surgeon can provide TPLO, fracture repair, and cruciate surgery at the hospital when appropriate.
Before surgery, our veterinarians review the recommended procedure, expected benefits, possible risks, and anticipated recovery. A physical examination is completed before anesthesia, and diagnostic testing may be recommended to gather information about the patient’s health. Clients receive an estimate and complete a surgery and anesthesia consent form before the procedure.
