Trusted Surgical Care for Knoxville’s Pets

When your pet needs surgery, you want to know they’re in the best hands. At West Hills Animal Hospital, we perform a wide variety of surgical procedures with a focus on safety, comfort, and successful outcomes. Our skilled veterinarians and support staff have extensive surgical experience and use advanced monitoring, pain management, and post-op care protocols. Whether your pet needs a routine spay or a complex orthopedic procedure, we are here to help them heal with confidence.

Spay & Neuter Surgeries

Spaying or neutering your pet is one of the most common — and important — veterinary surgeries we perform. In addition to preventing unwanted litters, these procedures reduce the risk of reproductive cancers, infections, and certain behavioral issues. At West Hills Animal Hospital, we take every step to ensure your pet’s spay or neuter surgery is as safe, comfortable, and stress-free as possible.

Soft Tissue Surgery

Soft tissue surgeries involve organs, skin, and internal structures other than bones. Common procedures include mass removals, bladder stone surgery, wound repairs, gastrointestinal surgeries, and more. Our team carefully evaluates each case, using advanced diagnostic tools to guide treatment and ensure the best surgical approach for your pet’s condition.

Orthopedic Surgery

When your pet experiences joint, bone, or ligament problems, orthopedic surgery may be the best path to relief. Our surgeon is skilled in procedures to address issues such as torn cruciate ligaments (ACL injuries), patellar luxation, fractures, and other musculoskeletal conditions. We’ll discuss your options, walk you through the process, and help your pet regain strength and mobility.

Abdominal Procedures

Abdominal surgeries are sometimes necessary to address internal conditions involving the stomach, intestines, bladder, or reproductive organs. These may include foreign object removal, exploratory surgery, cesarean section, etc. With our in-house diagnostics and surgical expertise, we ensure timely treatment with the highest standards of safety and care.

Oncologic (Cancer) Surgery

If your pet is diagnosed with a tumor or cancerous growth, surgical removal may be part of their treatment plan. Our team has experience with oncologic surgery, working to remove tumors while preserving quality of life. We work closely with pet owners to ensure they understand the diagnosis, prognosis, and surgical options available. In addition, should your pet be referred to an oncologist for further treatment, out team will coordinate with them to provide continuity of care and aid in any follow-up or further treatment.
