Surgical Services

At La Plaza Veterinary Clinic, we offer a wide range of surgical procedures performed with precision, compassion, and a strong focus on patient safety. From routine spays and neuters to more complex soft tissue surgeries, our team is committed to providing the highest standard of care throughout every step of the process.

At La Plaza Veterinary Clinic, we offer safe and affordable spaying services for dogs and cats. Spaying is a routine surgical procedure that helps prevent unwanted pregnancies and protects your female pet’s long-term health.

Why Spay Your Pet?

  • Prevents uterine infections and reduces the risk of mammary tumors

  • Eliminates heat cycles and related behavioral issues

  • Helps control pet overpopulation in our local communities

Neutering your male dog or cat is an important step in promoting better behavior and overall wellness. We provide professional neutering services with a focus on safety and compassionate care.

Benefits of Neutering Your Pet:

  • Decreases the risk of testicular cancer and prostate issues

  • Reduces roaming, marking, and aggressive behavior

  • Helps minimize stray animal populations in Norwalk and surrounding areas

Soft tissue surgery includes a range of procedures that do not involve bones or joints, and can significantly improve your pet’s comfort and quality of life. At our clinic, we perform many of these surgeries with a focus on safety, healing, and long-term wellness.

Common Soft Tissue Surgeries Include:

  • Mass Removal – One of the most frequent procedures, removing skin lumps or internal growths. While most masses are benign, early removal and biopsy are key to managing more serious conditions, such as cancer.

  • Ear Canal Surgery – For pets with chronic ear infections, surgical correction can improve airflow, reduce inflammation, and help prevent future infections.

  • Ocular Surgery – Eye conditions like corneal ulcers or abnormal eyelash growth can cause pain and impair vision. Surgical treatment can support healing, reduce scarring, and restore your pet’s comfort and eyesight.

Surgery can also help resolve several problems related to the eyes. Tearing in your pet’s eyes can mean an infection is present or may be a sign that the cornea (outer layer of the eye) has been damaged. Surgery may allow the cornea to heal faster with less scarring, improving your pet’s ability to see. In some pets, the eyelashes may actually damage the cornea. Surgical intervention improves comfort in these pets, reduces the chances of corneal scarring, and enhances the pet’s vision in the long term.
