Surgery

The surgeons at the Zoolux veterinary clinic are on duty every day, and the surgical department at 39 Dmytrivska St. is open 24 hours a day.

Veterinary surgery is one of the key areas of modern veterinary medicine. Surgical treatment is necessary in cases where medical treatment is not effective enough or when an animal requires elective surgery—such as neutering, tumor removal, or reconstructive surgery.

The Zoolux Clinic performs both elective and emergency surgeries for dogs and cats of varying degrees of complexity.

Specialized surgery for cats and dogs

The clinic has separate areas for cats and dogs, including a surgical ward and a post-operative recovery area.

This allows you to:

✅ minimize stress in animals;

✅reduce contact between species;

✅Create more comfortable conditions for post-surgery recovery.

This is especially important for cats, who are much more sensitive to strange smells, noise, and the presence of dogs.

Modern Operating Rooms and Surgical Ward

Surgeries are performed in state-of-the-art operating rooms in compliance with standards for sterility, anesthesiological care, and monitoring of the patient’s vital signs.

Before the surgery:

• The animal is examined by a surgeon;
• Additional examinations are conducted as needed;
• The anesthetic risks and the patient's overall condition are assessed.

After surgery, all animals remain in the surgical ward under the supervision of veterinarians until they have fully recovered from anesthesia.
