Veterinary Surgery
Procedures carried out to the highest standards of safety and post-operative care.
What it is
Safe, specialist veterinary surgery in Gràcia
Veterinary surgery requires a prepared team, the right equipment and a rigorous anaesthetic protocol. At Rovira Veterinary Clinic, every procedure is planned in detail: full pre-operative assessment, monitored anaesthesia throughout and post-operative follow-up until complete recovery.
Before any surgery we carry out pre-operative blood tests to confirm your pet is in optimal condition for the procedure. Your animal's wellbeing and safety are always the priority.
If you are unsure whether your pet needs surgery, book a consultation — we assess every case individually and explain all available options, surgical and non-surgical.

Frequently asked questions
What people ask us most about surgery
Is anaesthesia safe for my pet?
Yes. Before any procedure we run pre-operative blood tests and tailor the anaesthetic protocol to each animal's individual characteristics: age, weight, breed and health status. Vital signs are monitored continuously throughout the surgery to ensure maximum safety.
Does my pet need to fast before surgery?
Yes. We generally ask for a solid fast of 8–12 hours before the procedure and a liquid fast of 2–4 hours. We will give you precise instructions adapted to your pet when you confirm the appointment.
How long is the recovery?
It depends on the type of surgery. A routine neutering usually resolves in 7–10 days. Orthopaedic surgeries may require weeks of rest and progressive rehabilitation. In all cases, post-operative check-ups are included and we support you throughout the whole process.
Do you handle surgical emergencies?
We handle surgical emergencies within our opening hours: Monday to Friday 9:00–20:00 and Saturdays 10:00–14:00. If the situation requires attention outside those hours, we will guide you to the nearest emergency veterinary centre.
