dog & cat surgery in lake forest

Whether it's a routine spay or urgent surgical care, Fauna Vet provides Orange County pets with top-tier medical love. Our beautiful, open-concept clinic ensures both you and your pet feel safe and supported from drop-off to pickup.

routine & preventive care

Proactive surgeries protect your pet from long-term health complications and give you complete peace of mind.

Essential, gentle procedures to prevent behavioral issues, avoid unexpected litters, and eliminate reproductive health risks for a long, happy life.

A vital, proactive procedure for large dog breeds where the stomach is securely "tacked" to prevent life-threatening bloat (GDV) during play and meals.

urgent & soft tissue surgery

When unexpected health issues arise, our highly skilled veterinarians act swiftly with advanced medical precision.

Precise extraction of newly discovered lumps, bumps, or abnormal growths to diagnose and treat conditions before they progress.

Swift "tummy rescues" to safely extract accidentally swallowed objects, relieving severe pain and restoring your explorer's digestive health.

A critical, time-sensitive procedure to remove a severely infected uterus in unspayed female pets.

Surgical removal of painful urinary stones to instantly relieve discomfort and prevent dangerous urinary tract blockages.

specialized & complex care

Beyond everyday procedures, Fauna Vet provides sophisticated treatments for complex eye conditions, chronic ear issues, and intricate wound repairs. We combine meticulous techniques with our signature fear-free approach for optimal healing in Lake Forest.

CHERRY EYE CORRECTION
We help Lake Forest pets see clearly again! Fauna surgically repositions prolapsed third-eyelid glands to fix "cherry eye," preventing chronic dryness.
EAR HEMATOMA TREATMENT:
Fauna provides precise surgical drainage and structural repairs for fluid-filled ear flaps, restoring your pet's natural ear shape and comfort.
ENUCLEATION (EYE REMOVAL):
When severe illness or glaucoma renders an eye beyond repair, we provide compassionate enucleation surgery to eliminate chronic pain. This helps your pet adapt quickly to a comfortable life with a "permanent wink.
LACERATIONS & WOUND REPAIRS:
From minor dog park scuffles to backyard tumbles, Fauna is Lake Forest's go-to for expert wound care. We meticulously clean and stitch lacerations to ensure your pet heals quickly with maximum comfort.
SPECIALTY & ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY:
For intricate bone, joint, or severe musculoskeletal issues, leg amputation can offer an immediate, pain-free fresh start. For complex preservation, Fauna partners with top board-certified orthopedic specialists who come directly to our Lake Forest clinic.
