Large Animal Surgical

Caesarean sections, displaced stomachs, digit amputation and laceration repairs are just a few of the many procedures offered at North Simcoe.

Our most common surgical procedures are displaced cow stomachs (DA surgeries) in dairy cows, and caesarean sections in cattle and small ruminants. Our chute enables us to safely secure large animals. Both sides of the chute fold downward for access to the left and right hand sides. Additionally, the chute side can be used as a table for our small ruminant surgeries.

Our clinic is fully equipped for in-clinic surgical procedures on bovine, ovine, caprine and camelid patients. We encourage clients to bring their animals to the clinic to allow for more sterile environments, reducing the risk for post-operative infection.
