From routine spay/neuter surgeries to more complex interventions such as tumor removal and tooth extraction, we strive to enhance the overall health and longevity of your beloved pets. 

Elective and Non-elective Surgeries

Elective surgery is an optional procedure, such as spaying and neutering, that pet owners can request to benefit their pet’s overall health. A non-elective surgery, however, is necessary to restore the health of an animal or to correct a condition that would interfere with its life. Some of the elective and non-elective pet surgery we offer in Toronto include:

Elective Pet Surgery

 

Spaying and neutering are surgical procedures used to prevent pets from reproducing. Neutering means castration, the removal of the testicles of a male animal, whereas spaying means removing the uterus and/or ovaries of a female animal. On top of preventing unwanted offspring, spaying or neutering offers many health and behavioural benefits, including lowering the risk of reproductive cancer and aggressive behaviour in the future.

Non-Elective Pet Surgery

Tumour removal

 

Mammary tumours are most common in female animals, especially those not spayed. Mammary tumours, like skin tumours, can be benign or malignant, and the removal involves several tests and procedures. In dogs mammary tumours are most often the mixed type which contains both benign and malignant cells. Because these can turn malignant,  surgery is the usual recommendation. Tissue biopsies can be performed to determine the type of mammary tumour.

Tooth extraction

 

Sometimes, your pet may suffer from malocclusion, which is a misalignment of the jaws, which can lead to issues with chewing and affect your pet’s dental health. Our veterinarians can diagnose and evaluate such problems with precision and help your pet by referring you to a veterinary dentist for  re-aligning, capping, or extracting their teeth if needed. If you think your pet is suffering from a mild toothache or is having any difficulty while chewing or eating, contact us.

Wound suturing

 

Many pets require some form of wound and suture management. Healing should not be delayed due to the pet's intervention, such as licking and biting at sutures. Even calm and quiet pets tend to nibble at the incision or bandage. We provide ways to help protect wounds and sutures.

Bladder stone removal

 

Bladder stones are solid mineral deposits that form inside the bladder of cats and dogs. Non- surgical methods include increase water intake and prescription diets. To diagnose bladder stones our Toronto veterinarians will perform a thorough physical examination as well as x-rays and urinalysis.  After the surgery, recovery can take 2-4 weeks.

Removing foreign bodies from the intestines

Foreign bodies occur when pets consume items that will not pass through their gastrointestinal tract. Surgical intervention may be required.

Following a surgical procedure, Kato Animal Hospital can house pets who are in stable condition. Our warm quiet cages with soft bedding, intravenous fluid pumps and assorted diets keep your pet comfortable. Our staff members do their utmost to make your pet's stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. If your pet requires 24-hour care, we’ll give you a referral.
