The Surgical Process

Before any surgery, our veterinarians conduct a thorough physical examination and pre-anesthesia testing. This helps us assess your pet’s overall health and determine the best anesthesia plan to ensure their safety. By understanding your pet’s health status, we can minimize risks and tailor the procedure to their specific needs.

During surgery, our team monitors your pet’s vital signs, including heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure. This continuous monitoring allows us to respond quickly to any changes and maintain your pet’s stability throughout the procedure.

Post-surgery, we provide detailed instructions for at-home care and schedule follow-up visits to monitor your pet’s recovery. Our team is always available to address any questions or concerns you may have during the recovery period.

Preparing Your Pet for Surgery

To ensure the best outcomes, follow these guidelines when preparing your pet for surgery:

Fasting
Typically, your pet should not eat for 12 hours before surgery to prevent complications during anesthesia.
Medications
Discuss current medications with your veterinarian to determine if they should be continued or paused.
Comfort Items
Bring a favorite blanket or toy to help your pet feel more at ease during their stay.
