At Glenridge Animal Hospital and Referral Centre, we understand that when your furry family member needs surgery, you want expert care you can trust. Whether it’s a torn ligament, a mass removal, or a life-saving emergency procedure, our team provides comprehensive surgical services—even for challenging cases.
We’re proud to offer both pet orthopedic surgery and soft tissue surgery, and we’ve expanded our services to accept referrals from veterinarians in the Niagara Region and beyond.
Advanced Pet Orthopedic Surgery Ontario
Orthopedic surgeries address issues involving your pet’s bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. These conditions often cause pain, lameness, or mobility issues, especially in active pets, seniors, or certain breeds prone to joint problems.
Our pet orthopedic surgery Ontario services include:
- Cranial Cruciate Ligament Repair: We use the innovative Z-Lig method to stabilize the stifle joint after a cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) rupture. This synthetic ligament approach offers a less invasive option with reliable results.
- Luxating Patella Repair: We offer correction using the Ridgestop implant, with or without tibial translocation, depending on your dog’s anatomy and severity of the condition.
- Fracture Repair: We stabilize bone fractures using surgical pins and/or plates tailored to your pet’s size and injury, restoring proper alignment and promoting full recovery.
- Amputation: In cases where a limb is severely damaged or diseased beyond repair, we perform safe and compassionate amputations to improve your pet’s quality of life.
- Achilles Tendon Replacement: We offer surgical repair or replacement of the Achilles tendon in pets with partial or complete ruptures.
Soft Tissue Surgery Ontario Pet Parents Can Trust
Soft tissue surgery involves procedures that are not related to bones or joints. These can range from routine spays and neuters to more complex internal operations. We offer a wide range of soft tissue surgery Ontario services, including:
- Mass and Tumor Removal: Whether benign or malignant, timely removal of abnormal growths is crucial for your pet’s health.
- Foreign Body Removal: When pets swallow things they shouldn’t, we perform emergency surgeries to remove blockages and restore normal digestion.
- Cystotomy: This procedure is often necessary when urinary stones cannot be dissolved with diet alone.
- Ovariohysterectomy for Pyometra: The surgical removal of the ovaries and uterus of a female dog or cat suffering from a life-threatening uterine infection.
- Gastrointestinal Surgery: For issues like bloat (GDV), intestinal obstruction, or chronic vomiting, surgical intervention can be lifesaving.
