Surgery
We know surgery is stressful for both pets and their owners. Your pet’s safety and comfort are extremely important to us. All pets undergo a thorough physical examination the morning of their surgery as well as pre-anesthetic bloodwork and heartworm testing to make sure they are in the best health possible for their procedure.
We use safe anesthetics, many of which are the same ones used in human medicine. We tailor our anesthetics to fit your pet’s age, health status, and the surgical procedure being performed.
During surgery, recovery, and throughout the day, your pet will be monitored by our doctors and surgical assistants. Our patients receive pain medications while they are in the hospital and at their discharge appointment to ensure their continued comfort. All patients are discharged from our hospital with instructions for post-operative care. We follow up the next day with a phone call to make sure your pet is recovering normally and we are always available for post-operative questions and concerns.
