Surgery

Dr. Gonzales at Family Pet Veterinary Hospital performs routine spay and neuter surgeries, mass removals, cystotomies, obstruction removals, and emergency trauma surgery for pets in Lockport, Larose, Golden Meadow, and Thibodaux, Louisiana. You can rest assured that our qualified veterinarian and staff will take the utmost care of your pet and treat it as our own before, during, and after all surgical procedures.

Since every pet is unique, we complete an assessment prior to surgery so that we can screen for any abnormalities or conditions that may be problematic. All patients are required to have pre-op lab work and pre-anesthetic screenings to help ensure there are no unforeseen or underlying medical conditions.

At Family Pet Veterinary Hospital, we understand that you get concerned, especially when your older pet needs a procedure. To ensure your pet’s safety, we will use the information from our evaluations and take into consideration your pet’s species, breed, age, and health to create an anesthetic protocol best suited to your pet. We monitor vital signs throughout all stages of surgery and recovery, and we also provide appropriate pain medication following surgery to make certain that your pet has a comfortable recovery.

Occasionally, we may refer patients to specialists, or board-certified veterinary surgeons, when complex operations with advanced equipment or training is required. Your pet’s health is our top priority, and we want to make sure that all of our patients receive the best possible outcome.

Whether your pet is of the age to be spayed or neutered or requires a different surgical procedure, our doctor and staff at Family Pet Veterinary Hospital are here for you and your pet. Contact us today for more information.

We are a family owned, companion animal, full service veterinary hospital that has supported the pet community in Lockport, Larose, Golden Meadow, and the surrounding areas of Louisiana since 2016.
