At Vista Vet Animal Hospital & Pet Lodge, we provide expert pet surgery in Round Rock, TX, including soft tissue surgery, orthopedic surgery, and essential procedures like pet spay and neuter.
Surgical Excellence, Compassionate Care
From routine procedures to complex operations, our veterinary team is committed to delivering the highest standard of surgical care for pets in Round Rock and surrounding communities. With advanced monitoring equipment, safe anesthesia protocols, and attentive post-operative support, we treat every patient like family — because they are.
Soft Tissue Surgery
Soft tissue surgery refers to procedures that involve organs, skin, and internal systems, not bones or joints. These surgeries are often used to treat injuries, remove tumors, or correct congenital abnormalities.
Common Soft Tissue Surgeries We Perform
- Mass removals and biopsies
- Bladder stone removal
- Gastrointestinal surgery
- Wound repair
- Foreign body removal
- Abscess treatment
- Spay & Neuter
Our skilled veterinarians use precise surgical techniques and sterile protocols to reduce trauma and ensure smooth recoveries.
Spay & Neuter Procedures: A Smart Step for Health and Prevention
One of the most common — and important — types of soft tissue procedures is spay and neuter. These procedures not only help reduce pet overpopulation but also offer significant long-term health benefits.
Benefits of Spaying or Neutering
- Reduces the risk of uterine infections and mammary tumors in females
- Lowers the chance of testicular cancer and prostate issues in males
- Decreases roaming, aggression, and certain behavioral problems
- Eliminates unwanted litters and contributes to community welfare
We recommend spaying or neutering pets at an age appropriate for their size, breed, and lifestyle. Our team is happy to discuss the best timing during a wellness visit.
Orthopedic Surgery
When your pet experiences a bone, joint, or ligament injury, orthopedic surgery can restore comfort, function, and mobility. These procedures are more complex and often used for trauma recovery or chronic conditions like hip dysplasia or torn ligaments.
Our Orthopedic Capabilities Include:
- Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL) repair through TPLO and Extra-Cap Surgical Procedures.
- Fracture repair and bone plating
- Joint stabilization
- MPL (Medial Luxating Patella) Surgery
- Amputations (when medically necessary)
Following orthopedic procedures, we provide detailed pain management and rehabilitation plans to help your pet regain strength and confidence.
Anesthesia, Safety, and Monitoring
All surgeries at Vista Vet are performed under general anesthesia, which keeps your pet fully asleep and pain-free during the procedure. While any anesthesia involves some risk, we minimize it with:
- Pre-anesthetic bloodwork to assess internal health
- Tailored anesthesia protocols based on age, breed, and medical history
- Continuous monitoring of heart rate, oxygen levels, blood pressure, and temperature
- Skilled veterinary technicians present throughout the procedure
Your pet’s safety is our top priority every step of the way.
Pre-Surgical & Post-Operative Care
We prepare you and your pet thoroughly before and after surgery:
Before Surgery:
- Fasting instructions (typically no food after midnight)
- Medication adjustments (if your pet is on regular prescriptions)
- Pre-op exams and lab work to confirm readiness
After Surgery:
- Pain management and medication instructions
- Activity restriction guidelines
- Cold Laser Therapy for healing post-operatively
- E-collar recommendations (if needed)
- Scheduled follow-ups to ensure proper healing
Our team is always available to answer questions and support your pet’s recovery.
