We understand that it can be stressful for your family when your pet undergoes an operation, and we’ll be there every step of the way. From routine surgical procedures, such as spaying and neutering, to more complex surgeries, we look forward to the opportunity to care for your pet’s surgical needs.

Before your pet’s operation, we’re going to provide instructions for the night before, as well as prepare you for the day of surgery.

What happens during the operation day?

All of our surgery patients receive a pre-anesthetic blood test to assess the kidneys, measure the red blood cells, and determine hydration status. All patients have a checkup before giving any premedications. They are then placed on IV fluids for the length of the procedure. All of our patients receive these as well as pain relief and antibiotics as appropriate. These are not an optional extra; they are part of our duty of care to all patients. During anesthesia, respiration, oxygen, and carbon dioxide levels, heart rate, and blood pressure are monitored continuously to help ensure the safety of your pet. After the procedure – all patients are moved into recovery in the main room of the hospital so that our team can closely monitor them.

Once the operation is complete, our team will call you with results and be sure to go over post-operative care routines so that your pet can heal as quickly as possible.
