Pre-Surgery Preparation

Proper preparation is essential for a successful surgery. Before the procedure, we conduct thorough physical exams and diagnostic tests, such as blood work and imaging, to assess your pet’s overall health. This ensures that your pet is ready for surgery and helps us develop a customized anesthetic plan for their safety.

Our team will also discuss pre-operative instructions with you, including fasting guidelines and any medications your pet may need before surgery.

Monitoring and Aftercare

Your pet’s safety is our top priority. During surgery, we use advanced monitoring equipment to track vital signs such as heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure. Our veterinary team remains attentive at every stage of the procedure to address any potential complications immediately.

After surgery, we provide detailed post-operative care instructions to support your pet’s recovery at home. This includes pain management, wound care, and follow-up appointments to monitor healing progress. If you have any questions or concerns during the recovery period, our team is available to provide guidance.

When to Consider Surgery for Your Pet

There are various situations where surgery may be necessary for your pet, including:

  • Preventive Care: Procedures like spaying and neutering to prevent future health issues.
  • Injury Repair: Addressing fractures, ligament tears, or wounds from accidents.
  • Chronic Conditions: Treating conditions such as tumors or internal blockages that affect your pet’s quality of life.
  • Emergencies: Handling sudden medical needs that require immediate attention.

If you notice changes in your pet’s behavior, mobility, or overall health, consult with our veterinary team to determine if surgery may be the right solution.
