When a pet faces a critical health issue, surgery is often the most definitive and effective treatment. At Delta Veterinary Hospital, we are equipped to provide urgent, life-saving surgical interventions in our state-of-the-art facility, which is designed to meet the highest standards of sterility, safety, and advanced medical technology. Our veterinarians and skilled veterinary team are beyond capable at managing a wide spectrum of emergency procedures, ensuring your pet receives expert care when it matters most.
Our emergency surgical capabilities include, but are not limited to:
Abdominal Emergencies

- Urinary Obstruction Unblockage: Procedure to relieve blockages in the urethra, restoring normal urinary flow.
- Cystotomy: Procedure to remove bladder stones (calculi), tumors, blood clots, or for diagnostic biopsies and exploration.
Soft Tissue & Trauma Surgery
- Complex Laceration & Wound Repair: Meticulous reconstruction of traumatic injuries, including degloving wounds, bite wounds, and abscess management.
- Caesarean Section (C-Section): Surgical delivery of puppies or kittens when natural birth (dystocia) poses a risk to the mother or offspring.
A Commitment to Safety, Comfort, and Communication
Patient well-being guides every decision we make. This commitment is demonstrated through:
- Advanced Pain Management: We utilize a multi-modal approach, administering preemptive analgesia, local anesthetic blocks, and tailored post-operative pain control protocols to ensure your pet recovers with the utmost comfort.
- Comprehensive Supportive Care: Every surgical patient benefits from dedicated monitoring by a trained veterinary technician, intravenous fluid therapy, and thermal support throughout anesthesia and recovery.
- Clear, Compassionate Communication: We know that emergency surgery is an intensely stressful experience. Our veterinary team will walk you through the entire process—from diagnosis and surgical indications to anesthesia protocols and postoperative care—providing you with the clear information needed to make informed decisions. We are committed to supporting you with transparency and compassion every step of the way.
Our goal is not only to address the immediate surgical crisis but to provide a seamless pathway to a full and comfortable recovery for your pet.
