Pet Surgical Services

Professional veterinarian clinic in St. Catharines with a full range of pet services.

Pet Surgery

At Carlton Animal Hospital, we provide many surgical services including routine pet spaying and neutering, all soft-tissue and some orthopaedic surgeries. We also specialize in special exotic pet surgeries. Dr. Joseph has experience with providing care for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, rats, birds, lizards, snakes, ferrets, and exotic cats among others. Needless to say, our exotic animal hospital in St. Catharines has good reviews. If you are curious as to whether Dr. Joseph would be able to treat your specific exotic pet, please call our office at (289) 362-3900 and our receptionists will be able to answer any questions you may have. Since we are a pet clinic, we are not equipped to see farm animals or horses.

During the Surgery

When Dr. Joseph performs surgery on your pet, he does so using sterile surgical techniques, gas anaesthesia and the assistance of a surgical technician (nurse). For your pet’s comfort and safety, Dr. Joseph also has equipment that will monitor blood oxygen levels, heart rate, ECG, breathing patterns and temperature continuously during the surgery.

Home Care

Any surgical procedure’s success depends greatly on proper home care after the surgery. At the time of release, we will provide instructions concerning home care and feeding. Call us if you suspect that things are not progressing well or if anything happens that the doctor or technician has not mentioned.
