Veterinary Emergency and Referral Hospital of West Toronto We specialize in the treatment of complex surgical and emergent conditions of companion animals.

With over twenty years experience in the field Dr. Saundra Hewitt (DVM, DVSc, DACVS) brings a balance of experience and expertise to the diagnosis and treatment of your pet. If youโ€™re viewing this page you are likely a pet owner whose animal requires complicated surgical treatment or a veterinarian researching referral options for your highly valued client. Surgery is a complex endeavor and due diligence is required before selecting the surgical referral option that is the best fit for you and your animal. If you are an owner, Dr. Hewitt and her staff realize that such a surgery is a significant event for you and your pet, both emotionally and financially. If you are a referring veterinarian we understand that you require excellence in both surgical care and prompt and thorough communication. In either case it is the mission of this practice to provide you with all the information you require to make an informed decision, to give your pet the best and most compassionate care available and to keep you informed of your patientโ€™s progress.

Our very own Lion King - Mocha!

This king presented to the ER department as he was unable to urinate. This is a life threatening condition in male felines. He was transferred to the surgical department for a Perineal urethrostomy or PU surgery. His surgery was a success and this is Mocha at his recheck.

He has healed very well and we are so delighted to have gotten to spend so much time with this sweet boy!

๐Ÿพ This sweet little girl came to see us after experiencing intermittent gagging and difficulty eating. After being carefully sedated by our experienced veterinary nursing team, we were able to get a closer look and discovered the cause โ€” a sewing needle! ๐Ÿชก

Thanks to the skill and expertise of our veterinary team, the needle was safely removed, and this brave girl was back home resting comfortably just a few hours later. ๐Ÿ’™

A reminder that curious pets can get into unexpected things. If you notice changes in your pet's eating habits, gagging, vomiting, or signs of discomfort, don't wait to have them assessed.

Wishing this sweet patient a speedy recovery! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฑโœจ

Our ACA/CSR Supervisor, Danielle, brought in Kali, her brother's dog, after Kali started experiencing some GI issues. Gunner tagged along to provide moral support for his buddy. ๐Ÿพโค๏ธ

But judging by this photo... we're not entirely sure who is supporting who. ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜‚

Who do you think is here for moral support: Gunner or Kali? ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿถ๐Ÿถ
