Veterinary Surgery In New Iberia, LA
Expert surgical care for your pet’s health and comfort. We provide soft tissue and orthopedic surgical services by appointment only.
Compassionate Surgical Care You Can Trust
At Iberia Animal Clinic, we understand that the thought of surgery can be stressful for pet owners — but you can rest assured knowing your companion is in experienced, caring hands. Our veterinary surgical services are designed to improve quality of life, relieve pain, and support long-term health. From routine spay and neuter procedures to advanced orthopedic surgery, we provide a wide range of surgical solutions with precision, safety, and compassion.
While we welcome walk-ins for most services, surgical procedures must be scheduled in advance to ensure the best experience for you and your pet.
Soft Tissue Surgery
Our soft tissue surgery services cover many of the most common surgical needs for cats and dogs. These procedures involve tissues that aren’t related to bones or joints and are typically performed to treat injury, illness, or to prevent future health problems.
Our Soft Tissue Surgical Services Include:
- Spay and neuter (castration/ovariohysterectomy)
- Tumor and mass removal
- Wound repair and laceration treatment
- Gastrointestinal surgery (foreign body removal, biopsy, etc.)
- Bladder surgery (removal of stones or tumors)
Each procedure is performed under general anesthesia with careful monitoring from our trained team. We provide thorough pre-surgical evaluations, use advanced surgical tools, and offer clear post-op instructions for a smooth recovery.
Orthopedic Surgery
Orthopedic procedures focus on the bones, joints, and ligaments — and are often required when pets suffer from injury, congenital conditions, or degenerative diseases. Our orthopedic surgery offerings are designed to restore comfort and mobility, giving your pet a better quality of life.
Our Orthopedic Services Include:
- Fracture repair
- Cruciate ligament repair, including TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy)
- Patellar luxation correction
- Joint stabilization procedures
If your pet is limping, experiencing joint pain, or has suffered trauma, our team will perform a full evaluation and discuss whether orthopedic surgery is the best course of treatment.
Our Commitment to Safety, Comfort, and Care
At Iberia Animal Clinic, our surgical approach is guided by compassion and clinical excellence. We take every measure to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety throughout the process:
- Pre-operative physical exams and labwork
- Modern anesthesia and continuous monitoring
- Pain management tailored to your pet’s needs
- Clear communication with pet parents before and after surgery
Our veterinary team is experienced in both general and specialized surgical procedures and committed to the highest standards of care.
FAQs About Our Surgical Services
Do I need an appointment for surgery?
Yes. Unlike our walk-in general care, all surgical procedures — such as spay, neuter, or orthopedic surgery — must be scheduled in advance.
How do I know if my pet needs surgery?
Our team will assess your pet’s condition through exams, imaging, and diagnostics. Common signs your pet may need surgery include persistent limping, difficulty urinating, abdominal swelling, or visible masses.
What is TPLO surgery, and when is it recommended?
TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) is an advanced procedure used to treat cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injuries in dogs. It is often recommended for large or active dogs to restore joint stability and reduce arthritis risk.
How long does it take for pets to recover from surgery?
Recovery depends on the procedure and your pet’s overall health. Soft tissue surgeries generally require a few days to two weeks of rest and gradual rehabilitation, while orthopedic surgeries may take several weeks.
Is anesthesia safe for my pet?
Yes. We use modern, veterinary-specific anesthetics and carefully monitor every patient to ensure safety during and after the procedure. Pre-anesthetic screening helps us tailor our protocols to each pet’s individual needs.
