Safe, Compassionate Surgical Care for Your Pet

At Lombard Veterinary Hospital, we are committed to providing safe, high-quality surgical care for your pets. Every procedure, from routine to complex, is approached with precision, compassion, and the highest standards of veterinary medicine.

Before surgery, each patient receives a thorough physical exam and, when appropriate, pre-anesthetic blood work to assess overall health and minimize any risks. We tailor anesthetic protocols based on your pet’s age, breed, and medical history to ensure the safest experience possible.

During surgery, our patients are continuously monitored using advanced equipment that tracks heart rate, oxygen levels, blood pressure, and temperature. A dedicated technician remains with your pet from induction through recovery, ensuring close supervision every step of the way.

Pain management is a key part of our surgical approach. We utilize multimodal pain relief—including pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative medications—to keep your pet comfortable throughout their experience and to support a smooth, stress-free recovery.

Our veterinary surgeons are steady-handed and meticulous, committed to achieving the best outcomes for every patient. We communicate closely with pet owners, offering detailed discharge instructions and follow-up care plans to help you confidently manage your pet’s healing at home.

Our surgical services include:

  • A wide range of soft tissue surgeries, such as:

    • Mass/tumor removals

    • Foreign body removal (GI tract obstructions)

    • Laceration and wound repair

  • Routine procedures, including spays and neuters

  • Declaw surgeries (with strict post-op pain protocols)

  • Select orthopedic procedures, including certain fracture repairs or joint corrections

    • For complex orthopedic cases, we may refer your pet to a trusted board-certified specialist to ensure the best possible outcome.

We are here to answer your questions and provide support at every stage of the surgical process. Your pet’s health, safety, and comfort will always be our top priorities. If your pet needs surgery or you have questions about our process, we invite you to contact us today. Our team is here to guide you every step of the way because your pet deserves the safest, most compassionate care available.
