Pet Surgery in Portland, OR
Surgery can be an important part of a pet’s medical care, whether it’s planned or performed in response to an urgent need. At Wildwood Animal Hospital, we provide a wide range of pet surgery in Portland, OR, from routine procedures to complex soft tissue operations.

We understand that scheduling surgery for a pet can be stressful. Our team is here to help you feel informed and confident in the process, and to ensure your pet receives thoughtful, high-quality care throughout their procedure and recovery.
Comprehensive Surgical Care
Every surgical case begins with a thorough evaluation. Before any procedure, we perform diagnostic screening to assess your pet’s overall health and identify any risk factors that may affect anesthesia or recovery. This allows us to tailor the anesthesia plan to your pet’s specific needs and provide safe, effective pain management.

We will explain the purpose of the procedure, what to expect before and after surgery, and how to care for your pet during recovery.
Anesthesia and Monitoring
Patient safety is a priority during all surgical procedures. Once your pet is sedated, our team continuously monitors vital signs, including heart rate, oxygen levels, and blood pressure. Monitoring continues from the beginning of anesthesia through recovery to detect and respond to any changes quickly.
Every pet’s response to anesthesia is unique. That’s why we develop individualized plans and keep your pet closely supervised from start to finish. Schedule an appointment to learn more about your pet’s surgical options and pre-operative care.
Postoperative Recovery and Support
Following surgery, your pet will rest in a calm, clean recovery area. We closely monitor their comfort and keep you updated on their condition. When you come to take your pet home, we’ll walk you through specific aftercare instructions, including:
- Pain control and medication
- Incision care
- Activity restrictions
- Signs to watch for at home
We also book follow-up appointments if needed to evaluate healing and adjust care plans as necessary.
When Is Pet Surgery Necessary?
Your veterinarian may recommend surgery for preventive, diagnostic, or therapeutic reasons. Common signs that may lead to a surgical recommendation include:
- Lumps or growths that change in size or appearance
- Limping or sudden loss of mobility
- Difficulty urinating or defecating
- Severe dental disease
- Ingestion of foreign objects
- Persistent pain not managed through other treatments
If you notice changes in your pet’s behavior or physical condition, we encourage you to contact our team to book an evaluation. Early intervention often improves surgical outcomes and reduces recovery time.
