Emergency Surgery for Pets in Sherman Oaks, CA
When a surgical emergency strikes, there’s no time to wait for a referral appointment or a next-day slot. Valley Veterinary Emergency offers in-house emergency surgical services for situations that simply can’t wait. These include foreign body removals, gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV / bloat), internal bleeding, ruptured masses, traumatic injuries requiring repair, and other life-threatening surgical conditions. Our surgical suite is equipped with the modern monitoring, anesthesia, and imaging tools needed to perform complex procedures safely under emergency conditions.
Our veterinarians are experienced in fast-paced surgical decision-making, working alongside dedicated anesthesia and recovery technicians who keep close watch on every patient before, during, and after their procedure. We never take surgery lightly — every decision is made with your input, a clear explanation of the risks and expected outcomes, and a realistic conversation about cost and prognosis before we proceed.
